Proceeding contribution from Baroness Howe of Idlicote (Crossbench) 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 thank the Minister for what she has said. I am sure that it will be reassuring to those who are concerned about the issue. The aim was to create something that would be a little less intrusive in certain circumstances than a full formal investigation of the type that we had to proceed with from time to time at the Equal Opportunities Commission. I hope that all those concerned will be satisfied with the answer. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clause 17 agreed to. Clauses 18 to 21 agreed to. Clause 22 [Investigations]: [Amendments Nos. 115 and 116 not moved.]
