Discrimination

Asked by Mike WoodConservativeWomen and EqualitiesTabled Answered 10 November 2025UIN 85183

The question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, whether she plans to bring forward legislative proposals to allow claims for combined discrimination under the Equality Act 2010.

Answered by Olivia Bailey

In our manifesto, we committed to strengthening protections against dual discrimination and in April we launched a call for evidence on this commitment, as well as a number of other areas of equality law. We will consider the responses to the call for evidence, which closed at the end of June, and confirm next steps in due course.
