Written questions by Thompson.

What steps she is taking to help end discrimination against LGBT+ people.

The Government is committed to ensuring LGBT+ people feel safe, included and are protected from discrimination. Work is underway to fulfil the commitments set out in the Government’s manifesto, including the trans–inclusive ban on conversion practices and equalising all existing strands of hate crime. DHSC also delivered legislation to end discrimination in fertility services for LGBT+ families, by removing additional screening costs for female same-sex couples undertaking reciprocal motherhood, and lifting the ban on people with HIV donating gametes. Moving forward, we will continue to develop policies and initiatives that enhance the lives of LGBT+ people.

What steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to support victims of the Windrush scandal.

Justice and change that victims of the Windrush Scandal deserve has not been delivered.Recently, I met with the WNO and Windrush Cymru Elders as part of this Government’s fundamental reset, and am proud that since taking office, we have re-established the Windrush unit in the Home Office; improved our caseworking with the introduction of a single named caseworker; committed to appointing a Windrush Commissioner; and are bringing in £1.5mil in grants to fund additional advocacy and support for claimants.I am also pleased to hear about the excellent work of the Long Eaton Settlers Legacy Association in your constituency. Campaign groups like them do very important work in the local community, supporting victims of the Windrush Scandal to access the compensation they deserve. I will ensure that the Windrush Engagement Team is aware of their work as they continue reaching out to organisations and communities across the country.This Government is determined to right the wrongs of the Windrush Scandal.
