WESC 'scrutiny session' of EHRC today at 1.45pm

[ArabeIIaScott]

You can watch here:

'As part of its regular scrutiny of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), Chairwoman Baroness Falkner and Chief Executive Marcial Boo will face questioning from the Women and Equalities Committee in an upcoming session

The EHRC is likely to answer questions on:

• the definition of sex in the Equality Act
• the internal investigation into Baroness Falkner in response to allegations of discriminatory behaviour
• staff retention

Following a request for advice from the Government earlier this year on clarifying the definition of the protected characteristic of sex in the Equality Act, the EHRC took the view it would bring “greater legal clarity”, but potential “ambiguity” in other areas. The cross-party Committee of MPs will examine the EHRC’s advice to the Government.'

Is there any reference to the results of this consultation?

I think she was probably referring to the govt consultation on self ID?

@PencilsInSpace thank you so much for your succinct summary of how women have been identified and classified in stature and common law during the last 200 years.

And thank you to all of the wonderful people who are keeping this discourse in public view. I hope it is recorded for all time.
