Equality Bill

I note my hon. Friend's concern about the lack of time allowed to debate certain aspects of the Bill, but I am sure that members of another place will be taking particular note of those aspects of the Bill that have not been properly debated and scrutinised in this House. It would not be appropriate to vote against the Bill purely on that procedural point. There are aspects of it with which I do not agree, although I do agree with a lot of it.
