Proceeding contribution from Parmjit Dhanda (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 the right hon. Lady. I hope that she enjoys her drink of water. I have been listening carefully to what the right hon. Lady has been saying. Her argument seems to be, "We can't do this because it is too difficult and too technical, and businesses would suffer." I put it to her that most fair-minded employers would support these changes. She is backing herself into the same corner as her party, as she will see if she reads the Hansard report of the debate on the minimum wage a few years ago.
