The Regulations also apply to housing, advertisements and private clubs. These Regulations make it unlawful for anyone who is concerned with the provision of services to the public, or a section of the public, to discriminate on grounds of sexual orientation, by refusing or deliberately omitting to provide access to them, or as regards the quality, manner or terms on which they are provided.
