Proceeding contribution from Baroness Gibson of Market Rasen (Labour) 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 had not meant to speak to this amendment, but having heard my noble friend Lady Gale move it, I should like to say that my experience on the Equal Opportunities Commission showed me how hard the Scottish and the Welsh representatives on the commission worked and how hard the two offices in those countries worked. So I have some sympathy with my noble friend’s viewpoint that there may need to be a full-time person in each country who looks at the considerations of that country.
