British Equality Bill Has Second Reading In House of Lords

Yesterday the Scotsman reported that in Britain's House of Lords, the second reading of the proposed Equality Bill (HL Bill 2) took place. The proposed law would create a single Commission for Equality and Human Rights to replace three separate commissions that now exist. It would also prohibit discrimination on the basis of religion or belief in the provision of goods, facilities, services or premises.
