Proceeding contribution from Lord Elton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 15 October 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill.

Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill

My Lords, I would just like to interpose two points. First, I want it to be quite clear that the equality that is sought is equality of opportunity and not equality of outcome. That must be obvious. Secondly, I would not subscribe to anything remotely like this until I knew what was finally going to be in the Equality Bill, which is importing entirely new implications, many of which are quite hostile to the way of life that I think we need.
