Proceeding contribution from Diane Abbott (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 takes us back in time. When he said that the commissioners could be 10 white men, the Minister shook her head fiercely. However, the working party that considered the establishment of the commission comprised 28 people of whom only three were from visible minorities. Does he agree that that feeds the concern felt by the black and Asian community that we will find ourselves hopelessly marginalised in the new commission?
