Clause 73
Equality Bill

Lynne Featherstone (Hornsey and Wood Green, Liberal Democrat)
I thank the hon. Gentleman for that helpful intervention; he is entirely right. The hon. Member for Weston-super-Mare was talking about an inordinate expense, and the point needs to be developed further. I do not accept what he said, but, were he to be right about the cost, no one would take such action voluntarily. [Interruption.] From a sedentary position, he indicates with an arm gesture that the idea is to get everyone off the hook.
