Baroness Brown of Silvertown (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 1 June 2026

Debate

For Women Scotland Ltd v Scottish Ministers

Contribution

My Lords, the code, read alongside the building regulations, creates conditions in which anyone may feel entitled to challenge anyone in a single-sex facility whose appearance does not satisfy them. Can the Minister point to any evidence that trans people in public toilets represent a significant risk to others, and does she accept that the more likely consequence of this framework is the harassment of gender non-conforming women who are not trans at all?
