Proceeding contribution from Baroness Thornton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 2 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Equality Bill.


Equality Bill

Certainly we will take on board and consider that point, but I have the feeling that the generality of the legislation applies to everyone. I think that we shall need to have some discussions about this. I am getting a nod that that is generally the point of view. I probably need to write to noble Lords about that in specific detail, because I think that there are more details to give.
