Equality Act 2010
The question
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, if she will commission a regulatory impact assessment on the proposed commencement of the socio-economic duty in the Equality Act 2010.
Answered by Anneliese Dodds
The Government is committed to commencing the socio-economic duty in the Equality Act 2010. The duty will require public bodies, when making strategic decisions, to actively consider how their decisions might help to reduce the inequalities associated with socio-economic disadvantage. To ensure effective implementation, we will be undertaking the necessary assessments. We will be updating Parliament on this in due course.
