Equality Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from John Bercow (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bills on Equality Bill (HL).
The hon. Member for Tooting (Mr. Khan) has made a perfectly fair point about Bromley borough council and I agree that its attitude is to be deplored. However, to ensure that we maximise cross-party agreement, can I make the fair point that, by contrast, Kensington and Chelsea borough council has done the decent thing? In respect of taking this matter forward, does the hon. Lady agree that, in terms of exemptions, people should not be able to use the possession of religious belief as a cloak behind which to continue their practice of prejudice?
