Women and Equalities Committee: Work of the Minister for Women and Equalities (2026-27)

Committee hears from witnesses

The Women and Equalities Committee will examine the work and priorities of the Minister for Women and Equalities during 2026–27. This oral evidence session allows MPs to scrutinise how the government is addressing gender equality, discrimination law, and equalities policy across the civil service and wider society.

This scrutiny holds the government accountable for progress on gender pay gaps, workplace discrimination, and representation in leadership roles—issues affecting millions of workers and public confidence in equalities enforcement. The session shapes how equalities priorities are resourced and implemented in the coming year.
