Law rolled out in phases from January 2019
Delays in implementing equality laws on the Island could end up being of benefit, according to a senior government minister.
The Equality Bill is to be rolled-out in phases starting in January next year - initially covering things such as gender reassignment, race and religion.
Policy and Reform Minister Chris Thomas says he is disappointed the Isle of Man hasn't brought in such legislation sooner.
But he believes the hold-up will end up acting as a positive for Manx lawmakers.
