Proceeding contribution from Hywel Williams (Plaid Cymru) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Equality Bill (HL).


Equality Bill [Lords]

Does the hon. Lady accept that the first qualification for being a commissioner is a general understanding of the power processes in society, which could be satisfied by any member? There is also a need for knowledge of and interest in particular issues such as disability, for knowledge of issues from the perspective of a commissioner from Wales or Scotland, and for a guarantee that there will be commissioners who have direct experience of the application of racism, for which Labour Members are arguing.
