I am delighted to have become a member of the House of Commons Women and Equalities Select Committee.
The Women and Equalities Committee examines the work of the Government Equalities Office (GEO). It holds Government to account on equality law and policy, including the Equality Act 2010 and cross Government activity on equalities. It also scrutinises the Equality and Human Rights Commission.
There are a number of inquires we are working on at the moment, including the impact of Coronavirus on the BAME community, disabled people and people with protected characteristics.
I look forward to using my time on the committee to ensure we make the UK an even greater country for all.
