Proceeding contribution from Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 6 September 2011. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties) Regulations 2011.


Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties) Regulations 2011

No, my Lords. It defines certain disadvantages, but it does not mean to say that some people are more equal than others. We are not in an Animal Farm situation. We are saying that every individual has their intrinsic worth as a human being, and that they should be treated in an equal manner and given equality of opportunity. That is what I believe we are all—or most of us—agreed upon in this Chamber.
