Proceeding contribution from Paul Burstow (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Equality Bill (HL).

Equality Bill [Lords]

I, too, welcome the Bill. The Minister touched on the discrimination that older people can often face in terms not only of their rights to employment, but of their access to goods and services. The Bill will not extend protection on goods and services to older people. Will she give us some sense of the urgency that the Government attach to extending such protection to older people and a timetable for achieving that?
