§ Rev. Ian PaisleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether employees with the Eastern Health and Social Services Board may register their nationality under the fair employment legislation as European; and how many have done so.
§ Mr. HanleyThe Fair Employment (Northern Ireland) Act 1989 does not make provision for employees to register their nationality. However the Eastern health and social services board does request applicants to indicate whether they are from an EC or non EC country and there are 18,995 EHSSB employees registered as EC nationals.
