Equality and Human Rights Commission: Women
The question
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, when she expects the Equality and Human Rights Commission to update its code of practice following the Supreme Court judgement in the case of For Women Scotland v The Scottish Ministers of 16 April 2025.
Answered by Bridget Phillipson
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is independent of government. The EHRC are currently updating their Code of Practice to reflect the ruling. The Government is engaging with them on this and expect them to work quickly and thoroughly, hearing from a wide range of voices. Ministers will then consider the EHRC’s updated draft once they have submitted it.
