Clause 10
Equality Bill

Mark Harper (Shadow Minister, Work & Pensions; Forest of Dean, Conservative)
I will be brief. First, the hon. Gentleman said that it was not his business to tell religions what to believe, but amendment 215 does exactly that. It says that the meaning of religion or belief has something to do with protected characteristics and what they can or cannot believe. Secondly, given that he has such a problem with schedule 9 and some of its contents, why has he not tabled any amendments to it?
