Answer

Public consultation on proposals to extend age discrimination legislation to the provision of goods, facilities and services closed on 8 October 2015. The consultation responses are currently being analysed and they will be taken into account when finalising policy proposals. We will then consider the options available to us for bringing this legislation before the Assembly.
