Labour accuses Badenoch of wanting to ‘turn clock back’ with plan to scrap public sector equality duty – UK politics live

Technology secretary says legal requirement that protects women, older people and others from workplace discrimination is ‘really important’

Kemi Badenoch starts by talking about the video filmed by the police as they arrested Henry Nowak.

She says it was hard to watch because she “found myself willing the police to stop, to at least consider Henry’s story and check if he had been stabbed”.

They want the police to become an institution that we can trust again.

And if we want to honour that wish to honour Henry’s memory, we need to ask the right question.

In some ways I feel for those police officers because they were following guidance. They have been trained on guidance which does not apply equality under the law. Guidance which says hate crimes should be treated as a priority. Many people don’t know what is in this guidance and that is why it needs to be exposed.
