The question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, whether she has undertaken a human rights impact assessment of the draft guidance by the Equality and Human Rights Commission entitled Code of practice for services, public functions and associations.

Answered by Olivia Bailey

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has revised its Code of Practice for Services, Public Functions and Associations following the six week consultation and submitted it to the Minister for Women and Equalities.

The parliamentary process for laying the Code is set out in the Equality Act 2006. We will ensure the correct process for considering the Code is followed.
