Equality Bill [HL]

The noble Earl returns to a theme that, I know, he feels strongly about. In resisting the amendment, we recognise that it is right and proper, as the noble Earl said, for the commission to discuss with other bodies, such as the citizens advice bureaux and others, relevant issues that consumer organisations are often knowledgeable about. That is different from creating something in statute. I do not want to do that, and I agree with the noble Earl.
