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


Equality Bill [Lords]

I entirely agree with the provision, as the hon. Lady has just enunciated it. What I do not understand is why it is included in the Bill in respect of religion, but is to be achieved by order-making power in respect of sexual orientation. I regard that as wholly unacceptable.
