Equality Bill [HL]

Does the noble Baroness agree with me that if the commission misuses its powers to give assistance in an oppressive way, in the kind of way that has been suggested, that also could give rise to a judicial review, for which an impecunious person could seek legal aid? There are those safeguards. Does she also agree that the budget allocated for cases is so small that these commissions have had to be extraordinarily careful never to misuse their scarce resources in the way that has been suggested?
