answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2017 answer text <p>The current definition of ‘long term’ conditions under the Equality Act 2010 allows the courts flexibility when applying the law in individual cases. We recognise that there are concerns that the protections offered by the Act can be hard to access for people with fluctuating conditions. The robustness of the definition is one of the issues we are exploring in our consideration of extending protections from discrimination in the workplace for those with mental health disorders.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 18/07/2017 16:43:04 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2017 answer text <p>The Government carried out a consultation on the future of civil partnerships in 2014. The review found that there was no clear consensus and, therefore, the Government did not change the Civil Partnership Act 2004.</p><p>The decision not to change the law was judicially reviewed and the Government won in the High Court last year. The Court of Appeal dismissed an appeal against the High Court judgment in February and confirmed that the Government’s approach is lawful.</p><p>We welcomed the Court’s ruling at the time and confirmed that we would carefully consider the judgment and its implications before deciding on our next steps. The claimants in this case have subsequently sought permission to appeal the Court of Appeal’s decision. We are currently awaiting the Supreme Court’s ruling on whether to allow the appeal to proceed.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 14/07/2017 13:03:36 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
