Proceeding contribution from Meg Munn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Equality Bill (HL).

Equality Bill [Lords]

I do not agree. Children are people and this Bill is for all people. It is important that they be considered along with everybody else, so I would resist including a specific reference to children. It is enormously important that clear guidelines and procedures be established for the commission’s working with the children’s commissioners. We expect that to be achieved through memorandums of understanding.
