HC Deb 14 October 1968 vol 770 c25W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, as a means of assisting towards the implementation of the Government's policy of equal pay, he will ensure that all advertisements and circulars for employment in Government services should only specify the type of work, conditions of employment, salaries, and other such details, without mentioning the sex of the applicant.

Mr. Harold Lever

Except in a few instances when the nature of the work makes this appropriate, advertisements for posts in the Civil Service do not restrict applications to members of one sex. The principle of equal pay has long been implemented in the non-industrial Civil Service.
