Proceeding contribution from Baroness Warsi (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 15 December 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Equality Bill.

Equality Bill

My Lords, on a point of clarification, when the noble Baroness refers to discrimination on the basis of caste or to the brotherhood in Islam, is she referring to that as a cultural practice or as a religious practice? If it is religious, what is the religious basis for it?
