British Equality Commission Opens Consultation on Equality Guides

Last week, Britain's Equality and Human Rights Commission opened its consultation on drafts of three guides under Britain's Equality Bill. The Bill is in its final stages of Parliamentary passage. The three proposed guides are: (1) Employment; (2) Equal Pay; and (3) Services, Public Functions and Associations. (Links to full texts and questionnaires.) The draft guides have extensive examples of the ban on religious discrimination, and also deal with various exemptions for religious organizations. The consultations close on April 2.
