Proceeding contribution from Patricia Hewitt (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Equality Bill.


Equality Bill

I strongly agree with the hon. Gentleman. I do not think there would be much disagreement in any part of the House. We carefully considered that in setting up the single Equality Commission, and I know that the Commission takes it extremely seriously.
