Proceeding contribution from Lord Lester of Herne Hill (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 13 January 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Equality Bill.
Equality Bill
No, it is not exactly what the amendment says but I am pointing out its implications. What it says is: ""Nothing in this Act"—" that is to say, the whole of the Act— ""shall have the effect of requiring a person (A) to provide a good or service"—" so that could be service in a shop— ""to a person (B) when doing so has the effect of making A complicit with an action to which A has a genuine conscientious objection"." So therefore it is a blanket exception in those areas.
