Threat to Equalities Act PLEASE RESPOND BEFORE THURSDAY 21ST APRIL

It appears that the Government may be considering changes to, or perhaps the scrapping of, the 2010 Equalities Act. For further details see


Please let me know what you think. If candidates come seeking your vote you may want to discuss this with them and note their responses for future reference.

  1. What a bizarre leaflet.
    Up to page 7 I was ok with it.
    At pages 8 and 9 I started to become confused.
    By page 10 alarm had set in.
    I was left feeling patronised and lacking confidence in the Secretary of States commitment to the Equality Act.

    My view:

    The equality act is 1 year old. Legislation was deemed necessary to drive through these changes. I wish to know how well public bodies are following the rules AND how well they are giving equality.

    If the rules are found not to be effective in giving equality then they need to be revised. It is premature to say "Public bodies can set their own goals now".
