HC Deb 02 December 1969 vol 792 c240W
Dr. Summerskill

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will amend the standard conditions of Government contracts to require contractors to comply with a clause forbidding discrimination on grounds of sex.

Mr. Diamond

The statutory conditions already include a fair wages clause which will apply to equal pay for women as soon as the forthcoming legislation on that matter becomes effective.
