To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, with reference to the answer of 27 April 2026 to Question 126609 on ICF Consulting Services: Equality, whether biological men who are non-binary are counted towards the KPI; and what was the policy purpose of a KPI target...
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, with reference to the answer of 27 April 2026 to Question 126609 on ICF Consulting Services: Equality, whether biological men who are non-binary are counted towards the KPI; and what was the policy purpose of a KPI target...
All non-binary individuals are counted in the KPI.
The KPI referenced in Defra’s contract with ICF does not mandate that 50% or more of professional staff within the core team for service orders be female or non-binary, nor does it set any minimum staffing thresholds. The rationale for measuring this aligns with Defra’s aspirations to use its procurement activities to support broader diversity and inclusion goals in its supply chains.

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what engagement the Government Equalities Office has had with rugby governing bodies regarding their inclusion policies for transgender and non-binary players.
Sport must be open to everyone. There is absolutely no place for homophobia, or discrimination of any kind, in sport or society.
The Government expects sports bodies, including rugby governing bodies, to take robust action to tackle discrimination whenever and wherever it occurs. The Government will continue to work with National Governing Bodies and sector organisations to fight all forms of discrimination at all levels of sport.
Through the Sports Council’s Equality Group, UK Sport and Sport England provide guidance on transgender inclusion in domestic sport to our National Governing Bodies. It makes clear that inclusion, fairness, and safety cannot always be balanced in gender-affected sport.
Under the UK Sport and Sport England Code for Sports Governance, National Governing Bodies at Tier 3 are required to publish and maintain a Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan to receive public funding. This framework serves as the accountability mechanism to demonstrate commitment to diversity and inclusion.
Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance, yet it is also the day when leaked Equalities and Human Rights Commission guidance on single-sex services has indicated, shockingly, that people could be challenged on their sex because of
“their appearance, behaviour or concerns by others”
and turned away if
“there is any doubt that they...

The Denny Review, published in September 2023, investigated health-related inequalities in Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes. This included a report commissioned from Healthwatch Luton on the experiences of LGBT+ people in the town.
Subsequently, training was provided to general practices in Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes to increase the confidence of practices in enhancing dignity and respect for this group of patients.
NHS England has also increased the number of gender services available, across England, for both children and young people and adults. A Children and Young People’s specialised gender service is anticipated to open in the East of England later in the year.
In April 2025, my rt. Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, commissioned NHS England to undertake an LGBT+ health evidence review to better understand LGBT+ healthcare needs and provide advice on future actions to address health inequalities amongst LGBT+ people including those who identify as trans and non-binary. The review was launched in June 2025 and will run for six months.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator in England with oversight of providers of health and adult social care. It holds services providers to account for safety and dignity for all patients and service users. The standards are enshrined in CQC regulations, having due regard to protected characteristics defined in the Equality Act 2010. Failure to comply with CQC standards can result is enforcement action.

No guidance has been provided to court staff on the treatment of (a) trans and (b) non-binary people, following the update to the Equal Treatment Bench Book. HMCTS is waiting for the Equality and Human Rights Commission to publish their updated statutory Code of Practice for Services, Public Functions and Associations to support service providers. This follows the UK Supreme Court Ruling on definition of ‘sex’ in the Equality Act 2010.

Everyone is welcome at UK Parliament and should feel safe being here. We strive to be an organisation that treats all visitors with respect.
All visitors are reminded of the Parliamentary Behaviour Code, which applies to everyone who visits and works in Parliament. The Behaviour Code requires users of the Estate to treat each other with respect. Visitors who behave in ways that constitute intimidation, bullying or harassment may be asked to leave the Estate.
Parliament employs a Visitor Experience team whose role is to welcome and assist all visitors arriving via the main visitor entrances to the Palace. The team’s role is to ensure that Parliament is accessible to all.

The Government has set out our expectation that employers and other duty bearers follow the clarity the Supreme Court ruling provides. Where necessary, they should take appropriate specialist legal advice.
The EHRC have opened their consultation on the draft updated statutory Code of Practice, seeking views from affected stakeholders. We encourage people to ensure their views are heard by submitting a response to the consultation by Monday 30th June. We will consider the final draft Code once it has been submitted and engage EHRC to ensure it provides the further certainty and clarity service providers need, in line with the ruling.

Trans people should be able to live free from discrimination and harassment and be able to get on with their day to day lives. Dignity and respect for everyone runs through every sinew of this government. We unequivocally support safe spaces for everyone that needs them and this includes trans citizens. There are laws in place to protect trans people from discrimination and harassment, so they are able to feel safe at work, in public and at school.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission has already committed to supporting organisations with its updated statutory Code of Practice for service providers. Ministers will consider the EHRC’s updated draft once they have submitted it to us and the final draft of the updated Code will be laid in Parliament for scrutiny and consideration by both Houses in due course. In the meantime, the Government is considering the implications of the Supreme Court’s recent judgment, including what this means for providers of trans-inclusive services.

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the article by the NHS Confederation Leading for all: supporting trans and non-binary healthcare staff, published in June; and what status that guidance has within the NHS.
No specific assessment has been made. The guidance has not been issued by NHS England and it does not need to be followed by individual trusts. Whilst it is important we support staff working in the National Health Service, we also need to ensure that patients’ privacy and dignity is respected.
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answers by Lord Kamall on 24 May (HL476 and HL475), what is the policy for recording the gender of people who self-identify as non-binary in medical records; and what is the legal underpinning for this policy.
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answers by Lord Kamall on 24 May (HL476 and HL475), what is the policy for recording the gender of people who self-identify as non-binary in medical records; and what is the legal underpinning for this policy.
The Government continues to consider emerging data and research on the experiences of non-binary people to understand how future policy can be developed. In general, the National Health Service identifies individuals as male or female via NHS numbers and medical records. This aligns with the Gender Recognition Act 2004 which refers to two sexes: male and female. NHS bodies must always consider any legal obligations under the Equality Act 2010 and compliance with the European Convention on Human Rights in respect of those who identify as non-binary.
