Hi Fiona
Thanks for this.
Good news travels fast.
There has in fact been a lot of pressure from the Trades Unions on this
including at Labour Party conference.

Subject: Breaking news - amendments to Equality Bill
Further victory for equality in the House of Lords!
The government this afternoon bowed to pressure and agreed to accept
Stonewall's amendments to the Equality Bill. Consequently, it will
become illegal to discriminate against lesbians and gay men in the
provision of goods and services - from NHS care to hotels and insurance.
