HC Deb 18 March 1971 vol 813 cc394-5W
Q8. Mr. Bishop

asked the Prime Minister (1) when he expects to complete his consideration of the recommendations contained in the document, "A Fair Deal for the Fair Sex"; and whether he will issue a White Paper containing Her Majesty's Government's conclusions on this matter, when the present review is complete;

(2) if he will co-ordinate the work of Government Departments in so far as it reveals discrimination against women; and if he will co-ordinate proposals to provide equity between the sexes.

The Prime Minister

About one-third of the recommendations have been met in whole or in part by action already taken. I cannot give one date by which the Government will have completed consideration of the remainder, but our decisions will be made known as soon as possible. There is already close coordination between Departments on questions concerning discrimination against women.
