The question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what steps her Department is taking to support employers in providing single-sex workplace facilities for biological women.

Answered by Dame Nia Griffith

The Supreme Court’s ruling has brought clarity for women and employers. The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has already committed to supporting organisations, including workplaces, with updated guidance; we will work closely with the EHRC as they develop this. All government departments should follow the clarity the ruling provides.
