HL Deb 07 September 2004 vol 664 cc104-5WA
Lord Laird

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answers by the Lord President on 24 February (WA 41), whether it is their practice to advise those recruiting teachers for state schools that the equal opportunity employment policies in relation to religion and political opinion of the Northern Ireland Education and Library Boards are inapplicable due to the exemption of teachers from fair employment law. [HL3539]

Baroness Amos

I refer the noble Lord to my previous answer on 24 February 2004 (Official Report col. WA 41).
