Equality Bill

My Lords, this is a simple, probing amendment and I will make some brief remarks. The debate about whether Ofqual should be included under the public sector equality duty was covered concisely and effectively in another place. I recall that in relation to this the Solicitor-General said: "““I completely agree that Ofqual should be subject to the equality duty””.—[Official Report, Commons, 30/6/09; col. 594.]" She said that that would be done after the Apprenticeship, Skills, Children and Learning Bill had passed through your Lordships' House and become an Act, thus giving Ofqual statutory status. Of course, we now have the Apprenticeship, Skills, Children and Learning Act, but I cannot see an amendment here to bring Ofqual into Schedule 19 and make it subject to the public sector equality duty. It may well be that there is a simple answer to this. Perhaps I have missed something that would explain this entirely. However, I have not seen an explanation, and it would be marvellous if the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster could enlighten me. I beg to move.
