Western Education and Library Board

HC Deb 16 January 1978 vol 942 cc80-1W

Mr. Wm. Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many foremen and chargehands are employed by the Western Education and Library Board; how many each are Roman Catholics, Protestants and of other religions, respectively; and whether the board has signed the Declaration of Fair Employment.

Mr. Concannon

I am informed by the Western Education and Library Board that it employs 15 foremen and six chargehands. As is the usual practice, the Board does not keep records of its employees' religious persuasions. It has signed the Declaration of Principle and Intent under the Fair Employment (NI) Act 1976.
