Equality Act 2010 http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2010/15/contents Tell us what you think should happen to this Act and why, being specific where possible: Should they be scrapped altogether? Can they be merged with existing regulations? Can we simplify them – or reduce the bureaucracy associated with them? Have you got any ideas to make these regulations better?
