Hopefully this is the first sign of it being quietly dropped. The current government is dangerously close to imploding so priorities are changing. I mean, it's not like there's anything else they should be concentrating on...

There are proposals to introduce similar legislation in Scotland and there is currently a consultation going on about that so personally I think they will try to wait and see what happens in Scotland.

Actually I think the comment about the LGBT survey are from the same source so maybe there has been no official reason given as to why it has been delayed.

Do you think it will be kicked into the long grass?

The consultation was supposed to take place in autumn 2017 but has been postponed till next year - officially because they are still looking at the responses to the LGBT consultation but a source close to Justine Greening says that she is getting 'cold feet' and is realising how complex and divisive it is.

It is behind a paywall, can you please summarise?
