Minister says it's a substantial body of work
The Island's first comprehensive legislation against discrimination will naturally take time to bring forward.
So says the Island’s Policy and Reform Minister as a raft of amendments prepare to be discussed again in the House of Keys.
They’re being assessed over a number of sittings, aimed at ensuring equal access for all Island citizens to employment and services, irrespective of race or religion, gender or sexual orientation, age or ability.
Chris Thomas admits it’s a big body of work:
