ESTABLISHMENT OF THE COMMISSION ON EQUALITY AND HUMAN RIGHTS

Motion Text

That this House welcomes the Government's proposal to legislate for the establishment of a single Commission on Equality and Human Rights as a step towards a comprehensive, unified approach to equalities; believes that there is strong support for measures to harmonise anti-discrimination legislation, providing a comprehensive framework of rights to ensure that all areas of discrimination are fully covered; and therefore urges the Government to bring forward legislation to this effect as soon as possible.
