Lord Forsyth of Drumlean (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 December 2025

Debate

Employment Gap for Blind and Sight-impaired People

Contribution

My Lords, is the issue here not that the Equality Act applies to the staff in this House but not to the Members? Should that not be sorted so that Members are given the kind of support that we see in other parliaments—such as, dare I say, the European Parliament—where they are given the support to carry out their activities?
