AnnotationThe Government's proposals for a Single Equality Bill for Great Britain have been developed as a result of the Discrimination Law Review, launched in February 2005. This consultation paper seeks views and responses on the various specific proposals by 4 September 2007. It comprises 3 parts with 3 annexes. Part 1, on harmonising and simplifying the law, includes fair treatment in the provision of goods, facilities and services, of particular importance to older people. Part 2, on more effective law, considers equality duties for public and private sectors. Part 3, modernising the law, asks for views, among other things on whether changes should be made to the statutory protected grounds, the case for prohibiting age discrimination in areas outside employment, and on improving access to and use of premises for disabled people. Annexes include detailed tables on specific exceptions to discrimination law to be kept or removed. (RH).
