Proceeding contribution from Baroness Gibson of Market Rasen (Labour) 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]

Again, I speak on behalf of my noble friend Lady Lockwood to support the points raised by the noble Lord, Lord Lester. I have also been briefed on the matter by the Equal Opportunities Commission; he explained its position extremely well. The EOC argues not for Section 73 to be included in the Bill, but for an equivalent provision to be included. He has adequately outlined its worries on the issue, so I shall not repeat them.
