Clause 13
Equality Bill

That is useful in that narrow area, because I suspect that it will be raised by the Joint Committee on Human Rights, and it and others can reflect on that answer to see whether a case can be proposed for the exclusion. The logic is that other areas are included because there is evidence of a problem. I will not push that now, but it seems peculiar that, historically, there should have been such non-coverage, even if there was no evidence of harm, because it just sticks out. I shall have to reflect and seek advice.
