Equality Bill

My Lords, the power as a whole is necessary to allow for new and unforeseen circumstances that may affect what counts as the provision of services or the exercise of a public function. It also allows for any future policy change on the exception of air transport services from the disability provisions, enabling the exception to be varied or removed as appropriate. Such a need is recognised in existing legislation. The noble Lord asked what we mean by the "functions of Parliament". As I understand it, it is to do with the preparation, making, consideration or approval of legislation—for example, debating, legislating and other proceeding—but not the parliamentary shop. It relates to the proceedings in the House, including debates and so on. I cannot enlighten the noble Lord any further at this instance. Amendment 60ZA agreed. Schedule 3, as amended, agreed. Clauses 30 to 36 agreed. Clause 37 : Adjustments to common parts in Scotland Amendment 60ZB Clause 37 : Adjustments to common parts in Scotland Amendment 60ZB Moved by
