Clause 1
Equality Bill
9:15 am

Joe Benton (Bootle, Labour)
I am glad the hon. Gentleman has mentioned advice as opposed to ruling. It will depend precisely on how proceedings go during the discussion of the amendments. I was merely pointing out that it would be helpful. It is not a ruling and you can leave the advice. It does not necessarily mean that there will not be a clause stand part debate, but if the hon. Member for Hornsey and Wood Green is so disposed to talk in general terms, it might be helpful. It is entirely a matter for her, and it is not a ruling.
