And the article on this by @davidbarrett in the @DailyMailUK:

Can you explain why, in the 'Equality and Diversity' section of your job application, you are still asking for the 'Gender' of applicants using the two options that are the two sexes as defined in the Equality Act 2010? 3/6

And can you also say why you do not ask about the protected chatacteristic of gender reassignment? How can you know you are not unlawfully discriminating against those with this protected characteristic if you don't collect data on it? 4/6

And do you agree that understanding the law and the difference between the protected characteristic of sex and 'gender', which is not a protected characteristic, is vital, particualrly if your new proposals are implemented? 5/6

I raised similar issues with you in June but you didn't respond. Will you now respond?
