Proceeding contribution from Baroness Thornton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 27 January 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Equality Bill.


Equality Bill

I absolutely agree with the noble Lord, and we intend that this Bill should reach the statute books. However, it is not entirely—not even mostly—in the Government’s hands. We are very appreciative of the co-operation that we are receiving across the House to expedite this Committee stage.
