Proceeding contribution from Vera Baird (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 December 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Equality Bill.
Equality Bill
No; I was talking to the hon. Member for Weston-super-Mare (John Penrose) and saying that the hon. Gentleman's comments apparently support the stand that we take: people look not for a pair of twins with identical qualifications but for people in a category who are all equally suitable, and there is then some practical effect. So we are glad for the support.
