Wonkypolicywonk points out that it’s fatuous to do an Impact Statement on…obeying the law.

Women & Equalities Minister Bridget Phillipson is in town, and – having already lost the Labour Party deputy leadership election – she’s now lost her moral compass.

Yep, rather than lay before Parliament the revised Code of Practice that the Equality & Human Rights Commission (EHRC) delivered to her two months ago, Bridget the Moral Midget, the Queen of the Transgender Blues, has instead demanded that the EHRC produce a Regulatory Impact Assessment – an analytical tool used by government departments to quantify the costs and benefits of proposed new legislation – on the revised Code.

…

But even it only took one month, one week or even just one day, it would still be an utter waste of time and effort. Because what would be the point of the EHRC’s hard-pressed staff calculating the Net Present Social Value and Business Net Present Value of businesses and organisations ‘following the law’, when the only other policy option is for businesses and organisations to ‘ignore the law’, and ‘ignoring the law’ is not actually an option that is open to businesses and organisations?

The point would be virtue signaling. The point would be telling onlookers that Women & Equalities Minister Bridget Phillipson is not one of those horrible people who think women have rights.
