§ Mr. Jannerasked the Secretary of State for Employment how many people work in his Department's race relations employment advisory service; what is their grade; whether the number of people working in the advisory service has increased since the coming into force of the code of practice; and what has been the cost to his Department of advertising the code of practice.
§ Mr. Alan ClarkAt 1 April 1984 the race relations employment advisory service comprised two principal advisers (principals); eleven senior advisers, (senior executive officers); thirteen advisers (higher executive officers); and eight support staff, three of whom worked part time. There has been no change in these numbers since the code of practice came into force. My Department does not advertise the code of practice, but as I said in my reply to the hon. and learned Member on 3 May[Official Report Vol 59, c. 215]: the advisory service draws attention to the code's recommendations in the course of its contacts with employers, and has run seminars for employers and employees on the code.
