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 think that the explanation that I gave about the competitive nature of sport and the recognition of the different strength and stamina required covers the point about ladies’ days. The point is to ensure that nobody is being discriminated against in terms of their participation.
