- Date lodged: Monday, 28 January 2013
- Motion reference: S4M-05488.1
As an amendment to motion S4M-05488 in the name of John Mason (St Margaret's Adoption and Family Care Society), leave out from “minorities” to end and insert “forms of discrimination are taken seriously; considers that the current policy operated by St Margaret’s is incompatible with that commitment and places irrational prejudice ahead of the best interests of children; understands that most Catholic adoption agencies have altered their policies and practice to comply with the Equality Act 2010 and commends them for doing so; believes that such an outcome is desirable in the case of St Margaret’s; considers however that clear action must be taken against organisations that refuse to end unlawful discriminatory practices, and welcomes continued enforcement of equality legislation throughout society."
