Proceeding contribution from Baroness O'Cathain (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 am very grateful to the noble Baroness. It has been useful to probe the matter to see what Clause 59 might mean in practice. I was also keen to represent the interests of the many Christian businesses who have a rightful place in our society and should not be made scapegoats. I will carefully read the Minister’s reply, but, for the moment, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
