Will the Leader consider holding a debate on the equality legislation that has been passed in recent years? At the time we passed the legislation we believed it to have been in good order. However, a number of issues have cropped up since then. One that comes to mind is the finding of a judge that pubs are no longer allowed to debar children at any hour of the day. It appears that the censorship of films and the certification of children who must be accompanied by an adult may not be enforceable for the same reasons. Perhaps these are not the most important of topics but if we pass legislation, it is worth debating it in order to advise the Minister that it is worth being reconsidered.
