Proceeding contribution from Sandra Gidley (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Equality Bill (HL).


Equality Bill [Lords]

We have no particular problems with that, but that is the whole difficulty. Ideally, I would prefer there not to be different provisions for different strands of inequality. The Bill is an attempt to set up the commission, but several attempts have been made during the Bill’s passage to try to address various other inequalities, mostly with a spectacular lack of success.
