Insurance: Gender Discrimination

Debate between Lord Lloyd of Berwick and Lord Peston

Tuesday 8th March 2011 Lords Chamber

[Lord Lloyd of Berwick]

My Lords—

[Lord Peston]

It is about time a Labour speaker was allowed to join in, unless they have changed the rules of the House. First, I will break a lifetime's habit and congratulate the Minister on the excellence of her answers. Is she absolutely certain that there is nothing Her Majesty's Government can do to move back on this matter? It is immensely damaging to the workings of the insurance market, which will be immensely damaging for our country in particular. Can nothing be done to get this reversed?
