Proceeding contribution from Lord Ashley of Stoke (Labour) 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 regard Amendment No. 41 as one of the most important amendments in the Bill. The promotion of equality opportunity is a key to the future for disabled people who have long suffered, for hundreds of years, discrimination. Now, a positive, constructive provision in the Bill for working on the promotion of equality opportunity is a major step forward. No one can say that Ministers do not listen to our representations. Thank you.
