Proceeding contribution from Baroness Verma (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 29 March 2011. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Equality Act 2010 (Public Authorities and Consequential and Supplementary Amendments) Order 2011.

Equality Act 2010 (Public Authorities and Consequential and Supplementary Amendments) Order 2011

My Lords, since inspiration has just arrived, my note tells me clearly that PCTs are already listed for the existing duties, so this is no great extra burden while they are still in existence. In fact the burden will be reduced because we are taking it away from being a process-driven requirement to being one where PCTs, like all other listed bodies, will be responding to the specific and general duties within the Equality Act 2010. I feel that the noble Lord is not overly satisfied but I commend this order to the Committee. Motion agreed.
