Repeal The Equality Act 2010 and the public equality duty

Petition Details

This legislation allows positive discrimination (dressed up as positive action) which is illegal in the UK. The repeal of this legislation would allow a more equal and inclusive society, one where people progress on the basis of merit and not because of their colour or sex.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We're not sure whether you want Parliament to repeal provisions relating to positive action (which, under the Act, is not currently illegal in specific circumstances) or if you would like all of the Equality Act's protections to be removed.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
