Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 June 2026

Debate

Equality Act 2010: Code of Practice

Contribution

My Lords, despite the Minister telling me on two previous occasions that all government departments were already compliant with the law in the services they provide, he confirmed in a Written Answer to me that: “Where necessary, government departments are carefully reviewing the ruling’s potential implications … to ensure that their policies and guidance are legally compliant”. The Supreme Court ruling was last April, so departments have had over a year. Can he confirm—if not at the Dispatch Box, in writing—the results of those reviews for each government department, setting out which are now fully compliant with the law and which still have work to do?
