HC Deb 16 February 1976 vol 905 c521W
Mr. Brotherton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many cases of employment discrimination have been referred to the Equal Opportunities Commission in the month of January; and how many prosecutions have resulted from them.

Dr. Summerskill

Where cases of alleged unlawful discrimination occur in the employment field it is for the individual complainant to apply to an industrial tribunal. I understand that up to 31st January 438 applications under the Equal Pay Act and 41 applications under the Sex Discrimination Act were made to industrial tribunals in Great Britain.
