Proceeding contribution from Gregory Campbell (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Equality Bill (HL).
Equality Bill [Lords]
I think that the hon. Gentleman has to think the situation through. Let us say that the position is as I have outlined—a couple who are Christian have a sincerely held view about sexual orientation, particularly about homosexuals. Are they to be told, courtesy of the Bill, that they cannot run their guest house and hold those views, which would preclude them from giving a room to persons who are openly homosexual and who appear to want to make the booking in order that they fall foul of the legislation?
