Proceeding contribution from Meg Munn (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 makes an interesting point. We want to set up a body that is independent of Government. Indeed, there was a great deal of debate in the other place about the extent of its independence. Part of the commission’s role is to comment on what the Government are doing, so we need to limit Government interference. A number of amendments were tabled to make the commission more independent.
