LONDON - Britain's Conservatives will clearly define sex as biological in the Equality Act if they win an election on July 4 to end an"ambiguity" that is putting women and girls' safety at risk, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said.
"The Conservatives believe that making this change in law will enhance protections in a way that respects the privacy and dignity of everyone in society." Labour's defence policy chief John Healey said on Monday the law did not need to be changed and what was needed was clearer guidance for service providers.
Where justified, they may also be able to exclude transgender people with Gender Recognition Certificates , the government has previously said. A GRC changes a transgender person's sex for most legal purposes.
