division_name: Age Equality Commission
motion: <p>
   I beg to move,
  <p> 
   
    That leave be given to bring in a Bill to make provision for the establishment of an Age Equality Commission to advise the Government on discrimination issues in relation to older people.
  <p>As this is confession time, I admit that I went away shortly after the election . . . I came back to find that I am indeed part of an excluded generation--the rising-60s. To paraphrase Wordsworth in "The Prelude": "Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive--but to be old was something of a disadvantage." That is the situation in which I find myself.--[ Official Report , 16 May 1997; Vol. 294, c. 304-05.]
  <p>Question put, pursuant to Standing Order No. 23 (Motions for leave to bring in Bills and nomination of Select Committees at commencement of public business): --
  <p>The House divided:  Ayes 190, Noes 7.
