The EHRC don't want your views; TransActual are challenging Government Ministers to do better!

We had no faith that the EHRC would conduct this consultation professionally, fairly or transparently. We asked individuals and organisations to send us copies of their consultation responses.

Update: DBT replied claiming a public-interest extension and refusing an internal review while the case is active. We've demanded written, case-specific reasons, the exact exemption, an internal review now, and a firm final date of 16 Oct. We will complain to the ICO if they fail.
Alt text: A letter from the Freedom of Information Team discussing an internal review request. It mentions potential extensions beyond 20 working days due to complexity and volume, referencing sections 4.6 and 4.7 of the Freedom of Information Code. There's a note about the Department of Business and Trade extending the deadline, and mentions of specific regulations on handling times. Links to the ICO's FAQs are provided, with a closing remark citing an active case as a reason to delay the review. A screenshot of a letter addressing the Information Rights Unit, dated October 2025. It details dissatisfaction with the refusal of an internal review regarding an information request. The letter outlines the timeline and requests specific exemptions, explanations for extensions, a firm response date, and promises to involve the Information Commissioner’s Office if unresolved. The tone is formal and assertive.

"The hate crimes figures...recorded falls in hate crime in three other groups including sexual orientation (down 2%), disability (down 8%) and transgender (down 11%.)"... They went down because they don't record them correctly as hate crimes.

I left a comment on their YT video 'After the supreme court ruling: what next for sex based rights?'. And they deleted my comment... I wonder why 🤔
Comment highlighting that sex is a spectrum and backed by science, with links to articles. Concludes by stating science should not be ideologically biased.

The department’s now over its legal deadline. We’ve requested an internal review for breach of FOIA and will escalate to the ICO if they keep dragging this out. Accountability shouldn’t take three months and two illegal extensions. /3

Under the Freedom of Information Act, departments have 20 working days to reply, and can extend once by another 20 days if a public interest test applies. DBT’s second “extension” isn’t lawful. It’s just stalling. 2/

We sent an FOI to the Department for Business and Trade back in August. They’ve now delayed twice, using the same copy-and-paste excuse, claiming they need more time for a “public interest test.” That takes it to 5 November. 1/

You are correct, under the Equality Act 2010, it is the legal duty of the service provider, not the user, to comply with the law.
