	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Wolfson of Tredegar on 20 July (HL1761), what is their policy on whether prisoners whose sex assigned at birth was female should use female pronouns to refer to prisoners who identify as female but were assigned male at birth if such prisoners (1) have, or (2) do not have, a Gender Recognition Certificate; and whether there would be any consequences for failing to use female pronouns in such cases.
	tabling member printed	Lord Hunt of Kings Heath
	uin	HL2647
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/09/2021 answer text <p>The Ministry of Justice and Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service are committed to advancing equality and eliminating discrimination, harassment and victimisation, including based on gender reassignment status as defined in section 7 of the Equality Act 2010. The prohibition on discrimination in relation to gender reassignment applies regardless of whether someone has a Gender Recognition Certificate.</p><p> </p><p>Incidents where a prisoner uses incorrect pronouns for another prisoner will be considered on a case-by-case basis, in line with the Prisoner Discipline Procedures policy and the Prison Rules. Prisoners may sometimes make an honest mistake in relation to pronouns and disciplinary action would not usually be appropriate in those circumstances. However, if an officer deems it appropriate to place a prisoner on report, the rule against ‘using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour’ (PR 51 (20) may apply. The adjudicator will weigh each incident on its own merits. The policy stipulates that an offence motivated by another person’s protected characteristic(s) under the Equality Act 2010 is an aggravating factor and may merit referral to an Independent Adjudicator.</p> answering member printed Lord Wolfson of Tredegar question first answered 27/09/2021 15:31:46 answering member 4901 label Biography information for Lord Wolfson of Tredegar

These applications are subject to a risk assessment by the VMD.</p> answering member printed Lord Benyon question first answered 01/11/2022 17:53:33 answering member 1547 label Biography information for Lord Benyon

In accordance with that Act a number of local authorities across the UK, including those within the devolved administrations, have volunteered to participate in accommodating asylum seekers. As part of the dispersal policy established in 2000, an advisory cluster limit was set by the Home Office at 1 asylum seeker for every 200 of the settled population.</p><p>We are aware that there has been an increase in the demand for accommodation from asylum seekers due to increased intake. We are currently working closely with accommodation providers and local authorities to widen existing dispersal areas.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 29/10/2015 14:03:35 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
