SORs the Defeat
Despite a valiant effort by Baroness O’Cathain on Wednesday night her amendment to the proposed Sexual Orientation regulations was defeated in the House of Lords by 168 votes to 122. The SORs will therefore become law. For the background to the SORs follow the links here http://richardperkins.blogsome.com/2007/03/20/sors-meeting-with-sadiq-khan/.

The judicial review on the Northern Ireland version of the regulations goes ahead as planned in June. This court action may yet have implications for Great Britain. We should continue to pray for success in the courts.
