§ Mr. Jannerasked the Secretary of State for Wales (1) whether he has issued any instruction, recommendations or guidance to any non-governmental organisation which comes under the aegis, sponsorship or control of his Department, and which has employees, concerning the implementation of the code of practice of the Commission for Racial Equality which carne into force on 1 April;
(2) which of the quasi non-governmental organisations which have employees and for which his Department is 465W responsible are complying, and which are not, with the recommendations of the code of the Commission for Racial Equality, and in particular with the recommendations for ethnic monitoring.
§ Mr. Nicholas EdwardsImplementation of the code is the responsibility of the bodies concerned as employers. But as sponsoring Minister I would expect them to be aware of its provisions and to take appropriate account of them in their employment policies and procedures. My officials will, however, shortly be writing to appropriate bodies to draw their attention to this.
