Proceeding contribution from Lord Addington (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 19 October 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Equality Bill [HL].

Equality Bill [HL]

My Lords, I echo what the noble Lord, Lord Carter, has said. People who take an interest in disability issues were a little worried at first that we had not got the tone right. I thank the Government for listening on this occasion and for paying attention to the concerns raised, which were based on very solid practical experience. I thank the Minister for listening and I hope that any praise that is given to any Ministers involved does not damn their further careers.
