Equality Bill [Lords]

I am genuinely glad that I have been in my place to listen to the hon. Gentleman’s speech. I am not making a frivolous point. I am trying to underline the rather serious point that he is making by saying that he should not be led astray, in however well-meaning a fashion, by the intervention and the challenge of definition from my hon. Friend the Member for Shipley (Philip Davies). May I illustratively point out to the hon. Gentleman an observation that the House has been favoured with in the past by my hon. Friend the Member for Daventry (Mr. Boswell), on the subject of definition? Clement Attlee was once asked to define an elephant, to which he replied that on the whole it was quite difficult to do so but equally, on the whole, when someone had seen one, they knew that they had seen it.
