Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Harry Cohen (Labour), on Monday, 22 June 2009, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 82 members in total.


EQUALITY BILL AND AGE-RELATED INSURANCE PRODUCTS

That this House notes that the Government policy paper Framework for Fairness June 2007 stated that the Equality Bill, currently before Parliament, should not have the unintended consequence of prohibiting positive benefits for either younger or older people, such as youth clubs or clubs for older people, holidays catering for people of particular ages, or concessions and discounts which help younger or older people; further notes that the Government probably wanted to continue to allow insurance companies to design and provide products for specific market segments, for example, younger or older drivers; and, therefore, urges the Government to bring forward amendments to the Bill to achieve this aim.
