HC Deb 26 February 1982 vol 18 c522W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Minister for the Civil Service what additional resources would be needed to monitor entry to and promotion within the Civil Service to ensure no discrimination against ethnic minorities.

Mr. Hayhoe

This would depend on the type and scale of monitoring. As has been announced, the Civil Service is to undertake in the autumn an experimental census of the ethnic composition of some non-industrial grades in a limited area. We shall consider further how to proceed when the results of the limited experiment are known.
