Lord Collins of Highbury (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 March 2026

Debate

Equality Act 2010: Section 106

Contribution

The noble Baroness is right. One of the things that is still to be determined is precisely what protected characteristics will be included under Section 106. In the EHRC guidance to political parties was a range of actions that could be taken to ensure diversity, including support for people with disabilities and other actions. We should be very proud that many of the political parties have taken action. We need greater transparency so that we can see what progress has been made.
