Mary-Ann Stephenson confirmed as EHRC chair despite MPs’ objections
Mary-Ann Stephenson has been appointed as the new chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), despite objections from parliamentary committees regarding her breadth of experience. Stephenson, the chair of the Women's Budget Group, will assume the role in December. The EHRC chair position includes responsibility for implementing guidance on transgender rights following a recent Supreme Court judgment on the definition of a woman. The government has overruled the concerns raised by the equalities committee and confirmed Stephenson's appointment to the position.
