Proceeding contribution from Baroness Morris of Bolton (Conservative) 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

I am most grateful to all noble Lords who have joined in this short debate. I am also grateful that the Minister pointed out, as I did at the beginning, that this is simply a probing amendment. We do not seek to be regressive in any way, although I very much enjoyed the brief history of equality law given by the noble Lord, Lord Lester, and I look forward to reading that again. The point raised by the noble Earl, Lord Erroll, shows that there is confusion in this area about what applies where. I am most grateful to the Minister for answering some of those concerns on the record. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 114ZA withdrawn. Amendment 114ZB Moved by
