Proceeding contribution from Baroness Howe of Idlicote (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 11 January 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Equality Bill.

Equality Bill

I very much support the amendment tabled by my noble friend Lady Coussins. Indeed, I thought that I had put my name down in support of it. Having listened to what she had to say, and having taken my mind back to the Sex Discrimination Act 1975, I can say that she makes a very good case indeed, particularly her comments on the goods, facilities and services areas. I support what has been said about all the other amendments and hope that the Minister will be able to agree with them. I see no reason why the change cannot be made, because it carries exactly the same strength of feeling as the other amendments we debated earlier today and on which we await a reply.
