The Government has issued a consultation paper, Equality Bill: assessing the impact of a multiple discrimination provision (PDF format, 892K) (on the Government Equalities Office website), on its plans for making provision for multiple discrimination in the Equality Bill.
It proposes that multiple discrimination claims be limited to direct discrimination and combine no more than two protected characteristics from: age; disability; gender reassignment; race; religion or belief; sex; and sexual orientation.
The consultation suggests that the provisions will come into effect in April 2011 at the earliest.
XpertHR provides more details of the consultation.
