Equality Bill

Proceeding contribution from Evan Harris (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 December 2009. It occurred during Debate on bills on Equality Bill.
There are two questions: whether there should be a variety of providers delivering education or other public services, and whether they should discriminate. Plenty of faith schools do not discriminate. So why should one be allowed to discriminate in respect of either employment or the users of services, or pupils, on the grounds of religion? That brings me to amendments 14 and 15, which deal with faith schools.
