Answer

We made a written Ministerial Statement to the Assembly on 19 February 2015 announcing our decision to take forward proposals to extend anti-discrimination law to give legal protection from unfair age discrimination by those providing goods, facilities and services. The proposed legislation will apply to people aged 16 and over.
