We are already working to deliver the commitments on equalities made in the Queen’s Speech, including bringing forward legislation to protect the victims of domestic violence and abuse, making further progress to tackle pay gaps, reforming mental health legislation and strengthening enforcement of the Equality Act 2010.

We will announce our detailed plans and intended timetables in due course.
