HL Deb 09 November 1998 vol 594 c73WA
Lord Lester of Herne Hill

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will introduce measures to introduce coherent and user-friendly legislation to tackle unfair discrimination with consistent powers of monitoring and enforcement. [HL3658]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

Anti-discrimination legislation, with accompanying guidance, already exists in the areas of sex, race and disability—the Sex Discrimination Act 1975, the Race Relations Act 1976 and the Disability Discrimination Act 1995. All three Acts are subject to review, as is happening now, including their provisions on monitoring and enforcement.
