It is long established that effective policy development relies on the ability of ministers and their officials to exchange views and provide free and frank advice on the options available. Disclosing the requested information is likely to have a detrimental effect on the quality of the advice and the way it would be given, which would not be in the public interest.

The Women in Finance Charter is a voluntary, Government-backed initiative established by HM Treasury in 2016 to improve the representation of women in senior positions in UK financial services.
The Charter seeks to support the productivity, competitiveness, innovation and growth of the sector by improving the gender balance of senior leadership in signatory firms. Around 400 financial services firms have signed up to the Charter, covering more than 1.1 million employees. On 30 June 2026, HM Treasury published a 10 Year Review of the Charter to mark its tenth anniversary.
Charter signatories are responsible for setting their own targets for gender diversity in senior management and for defining the senior management population covered by those targets.
Individual signatory firms are responsible for determining how they measure, monitor and report progress against their commitments under the Charter.

The Government is currently prioritising working through the implications of the Supreme Court ruling in the For Women Scotland vs Scottish Ministers case, including reviewing the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s (EHRC) Code of Practice for services, associations and public functions. We are also focused on delivering our manifesto commitments to deliver a full trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices, equalising all strands of hate crime, and reviewing health services to ensure that all trans people receive appropriate and high-quality care. As with all major pieces of legislation, the Equality Act 2010 is constantly kept under review to ensure that it operates as intended in a changing and evolving social and economic environment.
That this House notes the first anniversary of the UK Supreme Court ruling in the case of For Women Scotland Ltd v. The Scottish Ministers, which clarified that for the purposes of the Equality Act 2010, the definition of “woman” is based on biological sex; recognises the significance of this judgment in upholding the integrity of sex-based rights and protections in settings including sport, prisons, healthcare and education; further notes the case of Jennifer Melle, who faced disciplinary action following the use of biologically accurate language in a clinical setting, raising important questions regarding freedom of expression; also notes the case of the Darlington nurses, who raised legitimate concerns regarding the use of female changing facilities by a biological male; welcomes the Government's commitment to lay the Equality and Human Rights Commission's revised Code of Practice before this House after the local elections, and urges prompt action in doing so; and calls on the Government provide clear guidance on single-sex spaces for NHS trusts and workplaces without further delay.
