Equality Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from John Bercow (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Equality Bill (HL).
On a point of clarification, does the hon. Gentleman think that the case for guaranteed representation that he is making about the ethnic minorities is as strong as, or stronger than, a similar such case that could be made on behalf of another minority? Is it of equal value, or—I think that this is a perfectly reasonable inquiry and I do not ask it tendentiously—is he arguing his case especially strongly because the CRE originally had genuine concerns about the danger of powerlessness as a result of the creation of the new body?
