Clause 73
Equality Bill
4:00 pm
John Penrose (Shadow Minister, Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform; Weston-Super-Mare, Conservative)
It is a pleasure to see you in the Chair, Lady Winterton. Based on the Minister’s response, we are quite content. We were most concerned to ensure that there would not be one law for the public sector and another for the private sector. In fact, that may still be so, but there will be a slightly tougher regime for the public sector. In that case, we have no objections, and I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
