Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties) Regulations 2011
Lord Low of Dalston moved, as an amendment to the motion that the draft Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties) Regulations 2011 be approved, at the end to insert “but that this House regrets that the Government have seriously weakened the Regulations, making it more difficult to hold public bodies to account; and calls on the Government to withdraw the Regulations and re-lay the earlier version published in January which required public bodies to publish information on equality analyses they have undertaken, to set objectives designed to facilitate compliance with the General Equality Duty and publish information about the engagement they have had with affected groups when developing these objectives, and to report annually on progress towards meeting these objectives, all of which is critical to ensuring that the General Equality Duty produces tangible and positive outcomes.” The House divided:
