Baroness Smith of Malvern (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 November 2025

Debate

Equality Act 2010: Supreme Court Judgment

Contribution

I do not believe that it will, but understanding costs is of course a routine and regular aspect of decision-making, as I suggested. This is a long and legally complex document that will have an impact on service providers up and down the country. Rightfully, we are carefully considering it and have asked the EHRC not to carry out a full regulatory impact assessment but, rather, to help by providing information on costs to ensure that a full impact assessment is not required, so that Ministers can take a fully informed decision.
