Equality

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Nash on 18 September (HL1398), what plans they have to review which activities outside Great Britain may be in scope of the Equality Act 2010.

Answer

As stated in my previous answer, some employer activities outside Great Britain may fall within the scope of the Equality Act 2010, but this will depend on whether, in any given case, the employment relationship is found to have a strong connection with Great Britain, and the Government has no plans to review the matter.
