Summary of this debate

I move: That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to provide for prohibiting discrimination on the basis of a person’s socio-economic disadvantaged background, for those purposes to amend the Employment Equality Act 1998 and the Equal Status Act 2000; and to provide for related matters. When is it proposed to take Second Stage?
