Open Disapprove the draft Equality Act 2010 guidance laid on 21 May 2026

Created by Rebecca Bennett
Closes on

I want the House of Commons to disapprove the Equality Act 2010: Draft Code of Practice for services, public functions and associations, 2026 laid on 21 May 2026.

We are concerned that the guidance published on 21 May 2016 could lead to women being excluded from women's spaces based on their appearance. We think that the guidance will make it harder for trans people to participate in sport as either gender, and that it can limit trans people from accessing toilets and other facilities that match their acquired gender. I therefore think the House of Commons should disapprove this draft guidance.
