Proceeding contribution from Lord Monson (Crossbench) 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 am grateful to the noble Lord for giving way. He said that it is right to respect the dignity and worth of each individual. Does that mean that we are under some sort of moral obligation to respect the dignity and worth of murderers, rapists, muggers, vandals and almost anyone you care to name? That is what the phrase means literally.
