Proceeding contribution from Lord Howard of Lympne (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 December 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Equality Bill.


Equality Bill

I am grateful to the Solicitor-General for that, but she must understand that the continued uncertainty causes very great difficulty for businesses as they try to plan ahead. I am prepared to accept the difficulties that might arise from putting what is necessary in the Bill, but I hope that, on consideration, she will be able to give me an explicit assurance that secondary legislation will cover my point. If she can, I shall not utter another word or take up another moment of the House's time this evening.
