the Committee stages of the Equality Bill in the House of Commons last Thursday
(8th December) that:
> "the Minister for Schools has confirmed that she agrees, in principle, to
extending the specific duties to education on the understanding that our
officials continue to work together to ensure that appropriate arrangements for
different education bodies are agreed, and that the relevant regulations and
supporting guidance on the way in which the specific duties will apply are light
touch, flexible and relevant to the realities of life in school and at other
levels of education."
