The Report Stage of the Equality Bill has been listed for 2nd December. As yet we don’t seem to have any proposed Government amendments which is a bit worrying because some aspects of the Bill – particularly those dealing with disability – need some serious attention. The Government may be thinking that amendments are best brought during the Lords Committee stage after Christmas and that the priority for the remaining Commons stages is to get them over and done with. Things are very tight if the Bill is to pass before the next election.
