Equality Bill

There is a time factor—I beg your pardon—of one year after the cessation of fits. I think in that case it would be a relevant question for people to ask. The noble Lord, Lord Low, mentioned subsection (3). The interpretation that he suggested is correct: subsection (3) means that asking about health is not of itself an unlawful act, but relying on the answer to act in a discriminating way may well be. The EHRC’s enforcement powers are unaffected. I hope that that clarifies that point.
