Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Wirral (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 9 February 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Equality Bill.

Equality Bill

Perhaps the noble Baroness can further clarify the point. I always tend, when looking at the interpretation side of any proposal before this Committee, to look at Clause 204, entitled ““General interpretation””. I could not see that a government department was defined there in the way that the noble Baroness is describing. It may well be that it is defined elsewhere in a generic way, but I could not see it in Clause 204. We have not yet reached Clause 204, but we may well a little later. It may be helpful if the noble Baroness could explain.
