Trans women will be barred from the main part of Labour's women's conference next year, the party has said, with entrance to the main conference hall and voting rights denied. All delegates will be allowed to attend a fringe programme, under the party's plans, as Labour seeks to find a compromise position it believes will comply with the supreme court's ruling on gender while also being inclusive to trans delegates.

We'll get this right but we also require the regulator to provide us with the information we need as a government to consider all that together: the code of practice, together with other material. A bit more focus on that and a little less focus on public debate would be helpful.

Liberty argues that the EHRC's initial two-week consultation period was insufficient, claiming the consultation should last at least 12 weeks to comply with legal standards.

Before the policy was removed from its webpage, it reportedly read that trans people "may use facilities - such as toilets and changing rooms - that are (1) identified as those for the trans person's sex assigned at birth, or (2) that are identified as gender neutral."
