Schedule 13
Equality Bill
8:00 pm
Vera Baird (Solicitor General, Attorney General's Office; Redcar, Labour)
Let me confirm that schedule 13 provides for the anticipatory provisions that the hon. Lady seeks, but they are drafted differently from the DDA and differently from hon. Members’ proposals.
I agree with the hon. Lady’s desire—she was taking the provisions in the DDA that make the adjustment requirements anticipatory. They need to be made for disabled persons and not just for a specific disabled person. In short, I hope she will take it from me that we are confident that the provision she seeks is already present in schedule 13.
