Equality Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Vera Baird (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bills on Equality Bill (HL).

I had not understood that the commission would be over-centralised. I shall be disappointed if the Minister does not tell me that it will have regional offices. We are certainly hoping for one for the north-east. I would not say that we expect it in Redcar, but we have put a bid in.
