The Gender Recognition Act comes under the remit of my colleague, the Minister for Social Protection.

I understand that the Department of Social Protection will be in touch in due course, as to details and timeline for the next stage of the process that they would take forward on this matter, and with regard to the follow up to the publication of the review of the Gender Recognition Act, related work on an impact assessment of providing for a non-binary gender, and any inter-Departmental engagement or working group that may be required on this matter.
