Equality Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Rob Marris (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Equality Bill (HL).
I too am a lawyer, although perhaps not as cautious as the hon. Lady. I see no Conservative amendment relating to the disability committee, which is covered in part 5 of schedule 1. The wording in that part of the schedule is on all fours with amendment No. 9, except that one would have to take out the word, ““disability””, and insert the word, ““race””. As the hon. Lady has not tabled an amendment to part 5 of schedule 1, I presume that she accepts the disability committee, so why is she being so cautious about the wording—and perhaps even the concept, although I am not so sure about that—of the amendment?
