Equality Bill 2004: Committee Stage.
1:00 pm
Joanna Tuffy (Labour)
I move amendment No. 25:
In page 29, line 11, after "home," to insert "or in the circumstances".
The Minister responded to this amendment earlier. I am not sure its intention is as the Minister perceives it. Acceptance of the amendment would result in a better phrasing of the sentence. It is not our intention that the provision would apply outside the home. Our amendment tries to protect the private or family life of the owner. The Minister of State indicated that, according to the EU, this is to be protected. That is the purpose of the amendment.
