– in the House of Commons at 2:26 pm on 18 January 1991.
I beg to move, That the Bill be now read a Second time.
Objection cannot be taken at this stage.
The Bill would ensure that advertisements for employment cannot specify age. To discriminate on the ground of age is as wrong as discrimination on any other grounds.
I do not see that this modest Bill should be opposed by the Government—
It being half-past Two o'clock, the debate stood adjourned.
Debate to be resumed on 1 March.
