Asked

Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether (a) her Department and (b) the arms length bodies sponsored by her Department are compliant with the Supreme Court ruling in the case of For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers [2025].

The Equality and Human Rights Commission has submitted a draft Code of Practice on services, public functions and associations which the Minister for Women and Equalities is reviewing with the care it deserves. This will provide further guidance to duty bearers, which will apply to the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. We stand ready to follow the guidance when it issues.
