Removing this clause would risk depriving many employers of a useful and necessary framework for understanding the inequality dynamics within their own workforce. Data without action achieves little. Equality action plans help translate information into strategy, encouraging employers not just to measure the problem but to engage with it. You have to have the data before you can actually deal with that. At a time when many organisations are seeking to do more to build inclusive and equitable workplaces, this clause offers structure and accountability. I urge noble Lords to resist the clause stand part notice and to support this considered and constructive provision.
