Proceeding contribution from Keith Vaz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Equality Bill (HL).


Equality Bill [Lords]

My hon. Friend is absolutely right. The commission will have no credibility at all. Not even warm words will be sufficient for the communities outside. We want hot words from the Minister and a commitment from her that the issue of representation is first and foremost in the Government’s agenda. As she is the Minister responsible for equality, I suspect that it will be quite easy for her to do that.
