Policy and Reform Minister Chris Thomas says new legislation outlawing discrimination is overdue on the Island.
The Equality Bill is currently being considered by the House of Keys.
Dozens of amendments are being proposed to the new laws, which will ban discrimination on the grounds of age, gender, sexuality or race.
Mr Thomas says the legislation will bring the law into the 21st century:
Minister can't say about specifics of bail breaches
Government income from nursing care placements rises
Tyson Fury's move to Island confirmed
Students invited to apply for paid summer placements
Heritage body's land totals thousands of acres
Key windfarm meeting delayed
13 arrested in drink-drive campaign
Laxey road shut until January
