Equality and Human Rights Commission and Office for Equality and Opportunity: Flint Global

Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, whether the (1) Office for Equality and Opportunity and (2) Equality and Human Rights Commission have had correspondence with Flint Global since July 2024.

Answer

The Office for Equality and Opportunity has not had any correspondence with Flint Global in that period.

The EHRC is an independent arm’s length body that is operationally independent of the Government. As an independent arm's length body, it is for the EHRC to decide on how it allocates its budget and operational activity. The Equality Act 2006 sets out the legal duty for the Secretary of State to lay before Parliament a copy of EHRC's Annual Reports and Accounts for the previous financial year. On 21 July, the EHRC published its Annual Report and Accounts for the financial year 2025-2026, which can be found here: https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/about-us/transparency-and-corporate-reporting/annual-reports.
