HC Deb 13 December 1993 vol 234 c512W
Mr. Alex Carlile

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what plans he has to amend the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 explicitly to include discrimination against transexuals; and if he will make a statement.

Miss Widdecombe

The Government deplore all forms of discrimination. It is not persuaded, however, that the Sex Discrimination Act should be extended to cover discrimination against transexuals and has no plans to legislate in this area.
