Proceeding contribution from Sammy Wilson (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 December 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Equality Bill.

Equality Bill

I understand the reasoning behind the hon. Gentleman's point, but does he recognise that in a place such as Northern Ireland, where, thankfully, the Bill will not apply, even his amendment would mean that 90 per cent. of all sources of employment would be encompassed? They would be subject to the regulatory aspects of the Bill, which would add considerably to their cost burden.
