House of Commons: Women
The question
To ask the hon. Member for Blaenau Gwent and Rhymney, representing the House of Commons Commission, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the Supreme Court judgment in For Women Scotland Ltd (Appellant) v The Scottish Ministers (Respondent) [2025] UKSC 16 on the operation of House of Commons services.
Answered by Nick Smith
The House administration has reviewed its policies, services and provisions and has not found that any immediate changes are required as a consequence of the judgment.
These will be further reviewed following publication of the full Equality and Human Rights Commission guidance and, if necessary, amended to ensure the House administration remains in line with the law and the final form of the statutory guidance.
