HC Deb 05 June 1967 vol 747 cc131-2W
Mr. Whitaker

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the Government will now insert in all its contracts with private firms a clause making the contract conditional upon non-discriminatory employment policies, such as have been done by Camden Council and in the United States of America.

Mr. Diamond

My right hon. Friend has decided to defer consideration of a possible non-discrimination clause in Government contracts until the Government has formulated its views on the wider issue of possible legislation to deal with discrimination in employment generally.
