Proceeding contribution from John Mason (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 December 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Equality Bill.


Equality Bill

I appreciate the hon. Gentleman giving way again, but will he clarify his proposal? Is he saying that schools, for example, should exhibit the same grey sameness, with all of them exactly the same as all the others? Is it not equally valid for a local authority—such as Glasgow, for example—to provide Catholic, non-denominational, Jewish or Muslim schools for families who want them? Is that not an equally good way to provide public services?
