Proceeding contribution from Baroness Miller of Hendon (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 13 July 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Equality Bill (HL).

Equality Bill [HL]

I have some sympathy with the noble Baroness over her Amendments Nos. 168 and 210. Like her, we are not happy with the word ““belief”” as it appears in Clause 45 and Clause 47. However, we prefer our solution, which we mention in a later amendment, because the definition in Schedule 1 of the Human Rights Act is rather vague, and although it says various things, it could not be described as a definition.
