If I were
@Keir_Starmer, I’d stand up in Parliament and say to the 130 or so MPs who signed this motion, “I understand you have an issue with around three or four pages of this 342-page Code of Practice. Fine. You have a week from today to give me your idea of a better version of those pages. Clearly, it needs to comply with the Equality Act and with all relevant case law. Get me a version before midday on 22nd June which has potential, and you’ll get your parliamentary debate. Give me nothing, or something that clearly doesn’t work legally, and there will be no debate. It’s in your hands now.”
The sections of the Code of Practice that focus on the law on the separate sex/single-sex exceptions are not that long. Write your own amended version of those sections, Nadia.
At least one of you 131 MPs who signed this motion should tell us what you want the Code to say in those sections and explain how it fits with the law and with case law. Because, so far, all I’ve heard from you is posturing.
You believe you can do a better job at writing this Code than the public body that was set up to do that job? Great! Prove it.
Posturing alone doesn’t prove that.
