Anneliese Dodds, Labour MP for Oxford East and UK minister for women and equalities, was compelled to answer an eye-catching question from a backbench MP last week.
Chris Evans, the Labour MP for Caerphilly, submitted a written question earlier this month, asking Dodds ‘whether she plans to amend the list of protected characteristics in the Equality Act 2010 to include hair colour’. Ms Dodds was pleased to be able to confirm that the government has no such plans.
