Helen Joyce talked to academic Michael Foran and barrister Naomi Cunningham on 8th June 2023 about the upcoming Westminster Hall debate on clarifying the Equality Act
Among the questions discussed:

What is the policy problem this proposal aims to solve?
If our proposal becomes law (whether with our suggested wording or an alternative), what, in practical terms, is likely to change?
Our petition is being debated at the same time as a rival petition which calls on the government not to amend the definition of sex in the Equality Act. What are the best arguments put forward by opponents of clarity?
What, if anything, does the definition of sex in the Equality Act have to do with “gender self-identification”?
