PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Sports: Transgender People (11 November 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if she will make an assessment of the potential impact of the participation of transgender athletes in women's sport on women; and if she will meet with women impacted by transgender participation in sport.

Asked by:
Rupert Lowe (Restore Britain)

Answer

Sporting bodies have a responsibility to protect the integrity and fairness of women's sport and the safety of all participants, particularly when it is not possible to balance those factors with inclusion.

National Governing Bodies set their own policies for who can participate in their sports in domestic competitions. Our UK sports councils have produced guidance to help domestic sports bodies determine the right position for their sport.
