Women: Public Places
The question
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the the EHRC Code of Practice on single-sex spaces on (a) businesses, (b) community spaces and (c) public spaces.
Answered by Olivia Bailey
The EHRC has submitted a draft Code of Practice to Ministers, and we are reviewing it with the care it deserves, engaging with the EHRC to ensure that it provides clarity for service providers.
We have always been clear that the proper process needs to be followed, which includes understanding the potential impact on businesses, public functions and services. The Code will have implications for service providers up and down the country so it is important that we get this right.
