Equality Bill [HL]

I shall think about the noble Lord’s point. It relates to cases where, in a sense, the discrimination is the other way and you might have somebody making an attack on a small business or whatever. That is anti-discriminatory and works against what we are trying to do within our anti-discrimination legislation. I would want to see whether the Bill could protect them in those circumstances. I am not sure that the hotel example fits that. I can see the underlying principle behind it. I am very happy to look at that. But in general, this is meant to be a commission that is supportive of business, as are the current commissions. Therefore, to have funds going out in both directions would not be the best use of the resources of the commission. I shall pick up the point.
