More than 100 MPs have now signed the motion I tabled alongside colleagues to disapprove the Equality Act 2010: Draft Code of Practice for Services, public functions and associations. Please email your MP asking them to sign EDM 240 if they haven’t already.
More than 100 MPs have now signed the motion I tabled alongside colleagues to disapprove the Equality Act 2010: Draft Code of Practice for Services, public functions and associations.
This motion is currently the only available mechanism by which MPs can reject the EHRC's Code of
Practice; if debated and passed within the 40-day scrutiny window, it would prevent the EHRC from issuing the Code and bringing it into force. This is unfortunately unlikely, but it is important that as many MPs as possible sign the motion.
Please email your MP asking them to sign EDM 240 if they haven't already.

Yes, we sell these to fundraise for our crucial campaigns work.  

No, we don’t use our government funding to make stickers.
