Proceeding contribution from Earl Ferrers (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 9 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Equality Bill [HL].
Equality Bill [HL]
My Lords, perhaps I may intervene before the Minister sits down. It is commendable that she said that there will be full consultation. Indeed, she has been studiously concerned with consultation throughout. But if one consults with somebody who has one set of views and somebody who has another set of views, eventually the Government have to make their mind up. Once their mind is made up, what they decide appears in the regulations. Once the regulations are made, Parliament cannot easily alter them. Does the Minister agree?
