Gender Recognition (Amendment) (Prisons) Bill 2023

Public bill · Private Member · Introduced

Changes the law so prisons can keep separate single-sex accommodation while still recognising a person’s legal gender. It matters because it tries to balance gender recognition with prison safety, privacy, and management of inmates.

Formal long title

Bill entitled an Act to amend the Gender Recognition Act 2015 to make provision for single-sex accommodation in prisons; and to provide for related matters.
