Proceeding contribution from Baroness Miller of Hendon (Conservative) 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 do not agree with Amendment No. 10. Paragraph 2(1) to Schedule 1 states:"““In appointing Commissioners the Secretary of State shall have regard to the desirability of their together having experience and knowledge relating to the matters in respect of which the Commission has functions including, in particular””." So it does not relate only to this area. The experience and knowledge that some people have is often more useful than that of someone simply nominated from an organisation. I know that the CBI does not welcome the idea. The way in which the Bill is written will cover the appointment of such people if the Secretary of State considers it necessary.
