Equality Bill [HL]

If I may say so, the noble Lord, Lord   Lester of Herne Hill, has the wrong end of the stick. He says that it would be wrong where, for example, two homosexuals were to be married, that a homophobic registrar—as he put it—could say, ““I will not marry you because I do not believe in this. However, here is the Bible; I will marry you according to the Christian tradition””. That is not the case. I am glad that the noble Lord signifies dissent but that is what I gathered he said.
