Extract
from the Explanatory Notes to the Equality Bill [Lords]
TERRITORIAL EXTENT
357. The Bill extends to Great Britain.
358. Equal opportunities are in principle reserved
to the Westminster Parliament, but the encouragement of equal
opportunities is an exception to this rule and falls within the
devolved competence of the Scottish Parliament. Some clauses of
this Bill fall partly within the competence of the Scottish Parliament.
These include clauses relating to promotion of equality and diversity
in Part 1, the promotion of equal opportunities in the gender
duty and duties imposing functions on Scottish Ministers in Part
4. The Scottish Parliament will be invited to agree that it is
content for Parliament to legislate for Scotland in this devolved
area. Human rights as a topic is neither reserved nor devolved
- a human rights issue falls within the competence of the Scottish
Parliament if the underlying subject matter is not reserved. The
CEHR's human rights role in Scotland is intended to be limited
in practice to human rights issues on reserved topics.
