Question

To ask His Majesty's Government, following the decision of the Supreme Court in For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers [2025] UKSC 16 on 16 April, what guidance they will issue about the use of pronouns in email signatures.

The Supreme Court’s ruling has brought clarity for women and single-sex service providers.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission has already committed to support service providers with updated guidance; we will engage them as necessary as they progress this work. All government departments should follow the ruling.
