Education secretary Bridget Phillipson seemed unable to provide an answer after a trans woman quizzed her about where she’s allowed to go to the toilet.

During an interview with trans journalist and writer Izzy Dine, published online on Tuesday (21 October), the women and equalities minister was asked what bathroom she thought Dine and other trans women should currently be using.

In September, Phillipson, who is currently running the Labour deputy leadership candidacy, was handed the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s (EHRC) code of practice on single-sex services, which could result in a bathroom ban for trans people.

Changes to the code of practice were proposed in April following the FWS v Scottish Ministers Supreme Court ruling, which stipulated that the 2010 Equality Act’s definition of a woman referred to a ‘biological woman.’
