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
We certainly support the Bill. We believe that everyone is of equal value. It is disappointing that there was not a purpose clause. We spent too much time on the letter of the law— Debate interrupted (Programme Order, 11 May 2009) The Deputy Speaker put forthwith the Question already proposed from the Chair (Standing Order No. 83E), That the Bill be now read the Third time. The House divided: Ayes 338, Noes 8.
