Lord Lester of Herne Hill

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When they intend to publish the draft regulations to prohibit discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation in (a) the provisions of goods; (b) the provision of facilities and services; (c) in education; and (d) the exercise of public functions.[HL7766]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department for Communities and Local Government
(Baroness Andrews)

We made clear earlier this month our intention to implement the sexual orientation regulations next April. We will lay the regulations before the House in good time for them to be debated and approved so that they can come into effect on this date.
