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]

Some would say that that would be tautologous. If it is necessary, it is necessary; if it is reasonable, some would say that it was otiose. You would say that reasonableness was inherent because it was necessary. There is a lovely semantic argument to be had on that—but not tonight. I notice that everyone is looking at the clock. However, we will put our mind to the issue to see whether we can find some more felicitous word than ““expedient””. We will see.
