That is useful for the benefit of people who may not remember what it was like at the time. It is quite recent, in a scary way, although very distant from our perspective now. We need to look at it through that lens. It might have been blindingly obvious that equality legislation was coming at us at some point closer to it, but in the seventies and eighties, that would not be the case at all.

Do members have any further questions or comments?
