HC Deb 10 July 1972 vol 840 c255W
Mr. Bishop

asked the Secretary of State for Employment to what extent sex discrimination is permitted within the European Economic Community; and what action he intends to take.

Mr. Chichester-Clark

Article 119 of the EEC Treaty provides for the application of the principle of equal remuneration between men and women. We understand that the Equal Pay Act, 1970, will satisfy the requirements of the article.
