HC Deb 20 May 1976 vol 911 cc633-4W
36. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of the fact that both the present Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Equal Opportunities Commission are women, he will give the reasons why, in the interests of equal opportunities, he will not take steps to appoint a man to one of these positions.

Dr. Summerskill

Appointments to the Equal Opportunities Commission are not made on grounds of sex but on grounds of personal suitability.
