Proceeding contribution from Lord Lester of Herne Hill (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 9 January 2007. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Equality Act (Sexual Orientation) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006.


Equality Act (Sexual Orientation) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006

My Lords, is it not the case that these regulations mirror what is already in law in relation to sexual orientation in employment and occupation, which adopts exactly the same approach, and that all that is prohibited is treating people less favourably on the ground of their sexual orientation, just like their race or their gender? Can the noble and learned Lord deal with those two points?
