Employment Advertisements

HC Deb 22 July 1997 vol 298 cc569-70W

Ms Perham

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how often since 1992 his Department has been responsible for employment advertisements which contained age restrictions upon those who could apply. [9503]

Ms Jowell

Information on the wording of all advertisements since 1992 is not available except at disproportionate cost, but it is not normal practice to have age restrictions for posts in the Department of Health.
