Equality and Human Rights Commission

Lord Rosser Excerpts

Monday 16th October 2017 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Vere of Norbiton]

The chair of the EHRC has reached what I think we can say is a compromise with my noble friend Lord Shinkwin on the issue to which the noble Lord refers. On enforcement, obviously law enforcement is a matter for the police while investigation is certainly a matter for the commission.

[Lord Rosser (Lab)]

My Lords, I am reluctant to pursue from the Front Bench a case that apparently involves an individual Member of this House, but certain statements were made by my noble friend Lady Prosser in her question. It would be helpful to the House if the Minister was able to investigate what has been said and, perhaps in a letter to Members of the House, indicate which of the statements made by my noble friend Lady Prosser are correct and which the Minister does not believe are correct.

[Baroness Vere of Norbiton]

Of course I will be happy to do that and I will place a copy of the letter in the Library.
