HC Deb 21 October 1981 vol 10 c137W

Mr. Greville Janner asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will introduce legislation to make it a special offence to dismiss employees of particular racial or ethnic origin to meet the requirements of the Arab boycott.

Mr. Waddington:

No. The decision in the Anthony Simmons case has shown that such discrimination can be dealt with adequately under the existing legislation.
