§ Amendment made: No. 43, in page 22, line 28, leave out subsections (3) and (4).—[Mr. John Fraser.]
§ Mr. John FraserI beg to move Amendment No. 44 in page 22, line 41, leave out subsection (5) and insert—
'(5) Sections 29(1) and 30 do not apply—
- (a) to discrimination which is rendered unlawful by any provision in column 1 of the table below, or
1567 - (b) to discrimination which would be so unlawful but for any provision in column 2 of that table, or
- (c) to discrimination which contravenes a term modified or included by virtue of an equality clause.
Although this amendment is lengthy, it is technical. Clause 33(5) is intended to exclude from Clauses 29 and 30 matters which are dealt with in the provisions of Part II of the Bill or of clause 22 and 23. Where matters are so dealt with, it is not intended that an act in relation thereto should be unlawful under Clauses 29 or 30 even though, by reason of some let-out provided in the Bill, the act is not unlawful under Part II or Clauses 22 or 23.
TABLE Provision creating illegality Exception Part II … Sections 6(3), 7(1)(b), 15(4), 19 and 20. Schedule 4 paragraph 1. Section 22 or 23 … Sections 26, 27 and 28. … Schedule 4 paragraph 2.' Whether that is clear or not, it is brief. I hope that it commends itself to the House.
§ Amendment agreed to.
