Equality Bill

Before the noble Baroness leaves the review, might I ask her one more question about it? Will the review consider statutory retirement ages for bodies like tribunals? On 1 December, I asked the noble Lord, Lord McKenzie, this question and he was not able to answer it at that time. He said he would write to me. I declared an interest in that my wife had recently been obliged to stand down as a member of the Care Standards Tribunal on reaching the age of 70. It was explained to her that, notwithstanding regulations on age discrimination, this was as a result of statutory retirement ages which applied to bodies like tribunals. Is this a point that the review of the default retirement age will look at?
