Sexual Orientation (Discrimination)

EDM number 518 in 1998-99, proposed by Alan Simpson on 31/03/1999.

That this House welcomes the statement of the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Trade and Industry which reaffirmed Labour's manifesto commitment to 'end unjustifiable discrimination wherever it exists'; recognises that such discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation has yet to be ruled completely unlawful; and calls upon the Government to bring forward proposals to do so within the coming year.

This motion has been signed by a total of 43 MPs.
