Dear Colleagues,

The Equality and Human Rights Commission is inviting interested parties to feed
in to our response to the Government's consultation on the EU Article 13 Equal
Treatment directive.

The directive covers goods and services in the four remaining grounds not
already covered by EU law  - these are age, sexual orientation, religion or
belief and disability. More information on the directive can be found on our
website
http://www.equalityhumanrights.com/fairer-britain/legislative-framework/eu-equal-treatment-directive/.
The Government's consultation on the directive runs until the 28th July and we
strongly encourage all interested parties to respond to the consultation.

EHRC will be circulating its draft consultation response shortly for comment.
Please find attached to this email our own questionnaire on the consultation,
your input is valuable to us as it will enable us to present a stronger and more
thorough response. You can email a completed questionnaire to us at
