LGBT History Month

Proceeding contribution from Stuart Andrew (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 February 2023. It occurred during Backbench debate on LGBT History Month.

I thank the hon. Lady, and I apologise that I forgot to mention this point. The Government will be updating the list of approved countries and territories. That power was part of the original Gender Recognition Act 2004, to ensure that the integrity of the Act was not compromised. The list was last updated in 2011 and needs to be updated again, as a commitment was made to keep the list under review. We are thoroughly researching each overseas system in question at the moment and will announce the countries that will be removed from the list via an affirmative statutory instrument in due course.
