HC Deb 14 May 1984 vol 60 cc51-2W
Mr. Janner

asked the Secretary of State for Employment, pursuant to the reply of 26 April, Official Report, column 600, by whom his Department's policies and procedures were reviewed before the Commission for Racial Equality's code of practice became operative; and when and to whom additional guidance and instructions were issued.

Mr. Gummer

My Department's policies and procedures were reviewed by the group personnel unit in consultation with personnel staff in the organisations that make up the Department of Employment group. Additional guidance and instructions were issued to all staff by the beginning of April after the trade unions had had the opportunity to comment on them.
