Proceeding contribution from Lord Lester of Herne Hill (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 9 February 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Equality Bill.
Equality Bill
Perhaps I may respectfully correct one matter. This does not limit the scope of the non-discrimination provision, from which there are no small-employer exemptions, thank goodness. It limits the scope of the public sector duty, which is very serious for reasons that are clear. It would not be fair to the Opposition to say that they are seeking to emasculate individual discrimination provisions. They are seeking to weaken the public sector duty.
