Proceeding contribution from John McDonnell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 December 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Equality Bill.
Equality Bill
In an informal way, that is what is happening on the ground. The hon. Member for Weston-super-Mare (John Penrose) made the point that some equality issues can be best tackled through a mentoring process, whereby fellow workers give the support. However, we need to ensure that there is some authority to that, which is why I wish to put equality reps on a statutory footing. That will increase the impact and effectiveness of this legislation.
