Answer
We made a Written Ministerial Statement to the Assembly on 19 February 2015, announcing our decision to bring forward proposals to prohibit unfair age discrimination against people aged 16 and over by those providing goods, facilities and services.
Subject to Executive agreement, we intend to issue a consultation document in the spring, setting out our policy proposals on this matter. Following consultation, we will then consider the options available to us for bringing this legislation before the Assembly.
