Proceeding contribution from Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Labour) 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, clearly it is an interesting suggestion—like the noble Lord, Lord Hunt, I was not aware of it. I certainly could not agree to look into it in the course of this Equality Bill. The Government’s position now is absolutely clear, we are not going to waver and we are not going to consider such a code in the context of the Equality Bill. However, I will undertake to take back the suggestion of a code to see if we can reflect further and perhaps work on this proposal. As I said, this will not be in the course of the Equality Bill.
