Proceeding contribution from Bridget Phillipson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 April 2025. It occurred during Ministerial statement on “For Women Scotland” Supreme Court Ruling.


“For Women Scotland” Supreme Court Ruling

I note my hon. Friend’s concern, and I can assure her that I will continue to meet a range of stakeholders in this important area, because I agree with her that no one should face prejudice or discrimination because of who they are. That is why we are working with the Home Office to deliver our commitment to equalising all existing strands of hate crimes and making them aggravated offences. We will work right across this House to ensure that, while we maintain single-sex spaces for biological women, trans people have the support and respect they deserve, including in access to healthcare services.
