Seema Malhotra

Labour (Co-op) — Feltham and Heston

Speaking in the House of Commons on 1 June 2026

Debate

Equality Act 2010: Code of Practice

Contribution

It will be for organisations to make decisions about how they comply with the law, and different organisations will choose different ways of doing so. In the majority of cases, we are talking about changing signs on existing facilities or updating them so they may be fully enclosed. As I mentioned before, the code does not provide the right for members of the public to challenge one another on their sex or access to those spaces, but most people will have the common sense to step in where necessary or, if they are concerned, to alert a member of staff.
