Proceeding contribution from Lord Lester of Herne Hill (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 11 July 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Equality Bill (HL).

Equality Bill [HL]

I am very grateful. That is a sensible way of leaving the matter for the moment. I should add, since I did not do so before, that the noble Baroness, Lady Prashar, was sorry that her duties as the first Civil Service Commissioner prevented her being here at this stage. She asked me to say that she certainly supports the aim of the amendment and the idea of writing something on the face of the Bill. Having regard to all of that, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clause 8 [Equality and Diversity]: [Amendments Nos. 75 and 76 not moved.]
