Question:
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister when they will publish a Sexual Orientation Strategy.

Answer:

We remain committed to producing a Sexual Orientation Strategy.

To achieve this commitment officials have completed a public consultation process and the responses are being used to inform the content of a draft Strategy.

Once developed, the draft Strategy will be referred to the Executive for final agreement and a further 12 week period of public consultation will then take place.

We would anticipate that the Strategy would be published after this final phase of consultation.
