Equality Bill [Lords]

I thank the Minister and her colleagues for listening to the representations that I and others have made. I would also like to say, on behalf of the Joint Committee on Human Rights, which also made a recommendation on these issues, how pleasing it is that these concerns have been noted. This makes all the scrutiny work of the Committee appear worth while. In the spirit of what the Minister said, I ask her to ensure that the discrimination law review consider these issues carefully, because, despite the high level of scrutiny that they have received, we might not have covered everything that might need amending through the regulatory powers in the Bill.
