Amendment summary
Lord Waddington moved, as an amendment to the motion that the draft Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties) Regulations 2011 be approved, at the end to insert “but that this House regrets that the Regulations seem likely to reinforce the failure of equality law to take proper account of freedom of religion and conscience; and notes that the Regulations appear to burden further the public sector with unnecessary bureaucracy and target-setting and will in effect promote equality of outcomes rather than equality of opportunity.”
