More than 100 MPs have signed an Early Day Motion calling for Parliament to disapprove the Equality and Human Rights Commission's (EHRC) draft Code of Practice on services, public functions and associations, with critics warning it would exclude and segregate trans people from everyday services.
The motion, tabled by Labour MP Nadia Whittome, has been reported with varying totals. On 9 June, published tallies put the number of signatories at 104 MPs, 106 MPs and 108 MPs.
Whittome said the code would have serious consequences for trans people: "The Code will exclude trans people from services and facilities that they have long used without issue, putting them at increased risk of harassment and violence, and effectively pushing them out of public life," she said. She added: "It ushers in an era of enforced segregation for trans people, the policing of which will be outsourced to service providers, including businesses, charities and public bodies," in a statement shared on social media.
Under parliamentary procedure, the draft code will automatically come into force unless either House passes a resolution to disapprove it. The EHRC guidance was laid before Parliament on 21 May 2026.

Out of 650. Not good.
Of the 650, 402 are from the "LGBTQ friendly" Labour party but only a quarter of them took the opportunity to show support. Our so called friends.
