Equality Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Lester of Herne Hill (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 9 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bills on Equality Bill [HL].
My Lords, I am grateful to the noble Baroness for her lecture on Mandla. However, she needs to read the judgments of the noble and learned Lord, Lord Slynn, and the others to which I referred which deal with the point that was not dealt with in Mandla; that is,whether Jews are covered under the Race Relations Act on the basis of ethnicity or religion. The law clearly states that they are covered on the basis of ethnicity. It was that point I was trying to deal with. The Mandla case does not deal with that as such at all.
