To ask His Majesty's Government, following the decision of the Supreme Court in For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers [2025] UKSC 16, whether they plan to issue guidance to departments to undo processes or methodology introduced as part of membership to the Stonewall Diversity Champions Scheme.
- Answer

The Government has set out our expectation that organisations follow the clarity the ruling provides.
