Equality Bill

This is interesting, because I think that I am right in saying—the hon. Gentleman will correct me if I am wrong—that he and I both think that the Government have narrowed the scope of the exemption. He welcomes that—if narrowing is indeed what the Government have done—whereas we do not; but interestingly, we both think that the narrowing has taken place. In Committee, the Solicitor-General held the view that there had been no narrowing. [Interruption.] The right hon. and learned Lady repeats her view now from a sedentary position. However, I do not think that hon. Members will find that convincing, which is why it would be helpful to test the opinion of the House.
