Proceeding contribution from Lord Lester of Herne Hill (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 6 July 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Equality Bill [HL]..

Equality Bill [HL]

I apologise for interrupting the noble Baroness. Does she agree that if a government—I am not talking about this one—starved the EOC of enough funds so that it could not, for   example, carry out its law enforcement functions, that would certainly be an interference with its real independence? In other words, there are situations where a lack of funding leads to a lack of real independence in functions.
