Camden Council in London is insisting that companies in its supply chain show commitment to LGBTQ+ inclusion values, reflecting a broader trend in London for ‘inclusivity’. The Telegraph has the story.
Labour-run Camden Council… will use its “position of power” to insist that outside businesses demonstrate their commitment to approved values in order to be commissioned.
According to information from the local authority, it is aiming to “positively influence” through the policy. It states that “building our commitment to LGBTQ+ equality into our procurement processes” has been one of the ways in which it has sought to be more inclusive.
This is in order to “work with businesses whose values align with our own, and to use our position of power to positively influence”. …
But Howard Cox, a London Mayoral candidate for Reform U.K., said: “This ultra Left-wing council should be censured for their needless discriminatory behaviour against private businesses. …
“These businesses should be judged only on the quality of product, service and value for money they offer. Yet another clueless London Labour council that has lost sight of all common sense for a minority and very unpopular political ideals.”
