Proceeding contribution from Diane Abbott (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Equality Bill.
Equality Bill
I am grateful to my right hon. and learned Friend. Does she agree that if the general public are watching the debate they will be surprised to see the Opposition so agitated at the prospect of equality legislation? The point about equality is not just that it offers fairness and justice for every group in society, but that in a globalised economy it will actually enable us to compete better and be a stronger and more effective society.
