Equality Bill

Proceeding contribution from Vera Baird (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 December 2009. It occurred during Debate on bills on Equality Bill.
I shall not detain the Chamber, but the clause that we have put forward now is stronger than the one proposed by the Opposition. It offers a solution, whereas theirs merely declares things to be unlawful and offers no remedy. Ours is the stronger measure but, apart from that, I honestly believe that the right hon. Lady is making a fuss about nothing and that there is not a cigarette paper between us.
