HC Deb 20 February 1980 vol 979 cc194-5W
71. Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Minister for the Civil Service what evidence he has of racial discrimination in the recruitment, job placement, reports on individuals and promotion of Civil Service staff.

Mr. Chanson

I have no evidence of this, but, as the hon. Member will know from my answer to her on 11 February, a joint working party with the unions has been established to consider the monitoring of race relations policy in the Civil Service. It has not yet reached any conclusions.
