Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (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]

The CRE is based in my constituency, which is very welcome, but it is very important that the new commission is not seen as a metropolitan organisation that is close only to those close to the levers of power. Of course there should be a London presence, but the commission should be equally accessible to the rest of the country.
