69. Mrs. Whiteasked the Attorney-General why the recent advertisement of a vacancy for a legal assistant in the Land Registry section of the Lord Chancellor's Department, stated that applications for this position were restricted to male barristers, although women barristers are employed on comparable work in this Department.
§ The Attorney-GeneralThe advertisement should have stated that women barristers are also eligible for appointment, and the omission was a mistake. A revised form of advertisement has now been issued. I am obliged to the hon. Member for calling attention to this matter.
