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).
I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for giving me such a candid and straightforward answer. Further to that answer, would he on the same basis argue that because the gay population is by general consent thought to be approximately 10 per cent. of the adult population, it would logically follow that if the body were to consist of 10 people, there should be one guaranteed place for the gay community, irrespective of whether Stonewall is arguing for such a position? I am not aware off the top of my head that it is arguing for that, but it is an interesting point to establish.
