Proceeding contribution from Baroness Featherstone (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 November 2010. It occurred during Urgent question on Socio-economic Equality Duty.
Socio-economic Equality Duty
I agree. That is the whole point. That is why I called the duty weak and why Lord Lester from the other place called it watery. It would not deliver what it said it would. Other proposals in the Bill were more important, but this duty distracted from their importance.
