High Court: ONS must change census guidance on ‘legal sex’
12 Mar 2021

The High Court has told the Office for National Statistics (ONS) that it must alter its guidance on answering the question on sex in the 2021 census.
Campaign group Fair Play for Women, which brought the court case, argued that the guidance could allow “sex self-identification through the back door”. The judge said he was satisfied that the campaigners were “more likely than not to succeed” regarding the legal meaning of sex as defined in the legislation.
The interim ruling was made ahead of a full judicial review next week. The review will be held three days before Census day on 21 March.
