Proceeding contribution from Baroness McIntosh of Pickering (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 April 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Equality Bill.
Equality Bill
It is curious that the Government have not taken the opportunity to close the existing loophole on siblings' ability to inherit, for example. A similar loophole in respect of gays and other minorities has been closed, and that is welcome, but does my hon. Friend know why the Government did not use this Bill to extend such rights to siblings? There is great support on both sides of the House for closing that long-standing loophole.
