Proceeding contribution from Lord Lester of Herne Hill (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 25 January 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Equality Bill.


Equality Bill

My Lords, the noble Lord has expressed disappointment with all the Front Benches, but will he accept from me—having, as it were, started the whole business of civil partnerships—that we fully support the object of his second amendment? We are concerned not with boring technicalities but with dealing with the difficult problems that the Minister has indicated so that we can achieve the results that he, and we, would like.
