Proceeding contribution from Philip Davies (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Equality Bill (HL).
Equality Bill [Lords]
: Does the hon. Gentleman accept that it sticks in the throat of some Conservative Members when the hon. Gentleman and his hon. Friends say that there should be no exceptions in measures such as this? His party made a clear exception when it excluded one sex from shortlists for parliamentary seats. It strikes some of us that the Labour party is very keen to allow exceptions from gender discrimination provisions in the selection of candidates, but does not want to allow anyone else any exceptions.
