Proceeding contribution from Baroness Scotland of Asthal (Labour) 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 can assure the noble Earl that we will give, and have given, this a great deal of thought. That is why we have tried to replicate the current legal position—the jurisprudence that we are comfortable with—because the courts have been able to interpret this in a way that makes sense. So we are not seeking in this provision to make the position either more complex or more opaque.
