Equality Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Desmond Swayne (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bills on Equality Bill (HL).
When we consider exceptions, what is important is scrutiny of the parliamentary process. However, one clause in part 3 effectively hands over the entire legislative process to a Minister, in the form of regulation-making powers, thus denying the House the opportunity properly to scrutinise a very sensitive and technical issue.
