HC Deb 06 February 1975 vol 885 c614W
36. Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the conclusions he has drawn from his examination of sex discrimination legislation in other countries.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

There are differences of approach among the countries which have anti-discrimination legislation, many of which reflect differences in legal background. I am considering what lessons to draw from experience abroad, and in particular from my recent examination of practice in the United States.
