First anniversary of the For Women Scotland v The Scottish Ministers ruling

Backbench debate (separate chamber, no votes)

A Westminster Hall debate marking the first anniversary of the For Women Scotland v The Scottish Ministers court ruling, which dealt with Scottish Government policies affecting women's rights and sex-based protections. Carla Lockhart (DUP) is sponsoring this debate to discuss the implications and implementation of the court's decision one year on.

This debate reflects ongoing UK-wide tensions around sex-based rights, equality law, and the Scottish Government's policy approach. The ruling has implications for how devolved administrations in Scotland balance competing legal frameworks on women's protections and protected characteristics, making it significant for policy coherence across the UK and for the broader debate on equality law reform.
