Question:
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister for an update on the Equality Act.

Answer:

There are extensive legal protections in place in respect of equality in this jurisdiction. There is also work being undertaken that will enhance the current legislative framework specifically in respect of the Review of the Race Relations (NI) Order 1997.

There is no agreement on a single Equality Bill.
