To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to their response on 29 November 2021 to the Liaison Committee report The Equality Act 2010: the impact on disabled people Follow-up report, published on 9 September 2021 (2nd report, HL Paper 60), what further consideration they have given to amending the Civil Procedure Rules to apply Qualified One-Way Costs Shifting to discrimination under the Equality Act 2010, in order to ensure access to justice for disabled people.

The Government remains committed to ensuring that access to justice is a reality for disabled people in exercising their rights, and is continuing to carefully consider the issue, including examining the possibility of a consultation and the feasibility of a potential pilot scheme testing the advantages and disadvantages of extending costs protection to such claims. We aim to set out the way forward in the coming months.
