Gender Self-identification
The following extract is from the debate on Gender Self-identification on 19 May 2025.
Does the Minister agree that six weeks is a very short time for that consultation to run? Initially it was two weeks. Would not 12 weeks, as has been the case for various pieces of consultation undertaken by the organisation, fit better with the big issue that we are talking about today?
My hon. Friend will be aware that the consultation on the draft updated code opened today.

Written correction submitted by the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, the hon. Member for Feltham and Heston (Seema Malhotra):
