§ Mr. Greville Jannerasked the Secretary of State for Employment (1) if he will examine the decision of the Employment Appeals Tribunal in the case of Daley v Allied Suppliers, to ascertain whether any issues other than the non-availability of protection against discrimination for young people on training schemes were raised by that decision; and if he will make a statement;
(2) whether, in view of the decision of the Employment Appeals Tribunal in the case of Daley v Allied Suppliers, in which it was held that young people on training schemes were not protected by the law against discrimination, he will now introduce legislation to provide such protection.
§ Mr. Peter MorrisonWe are still considering the important and complex implications of this judgment in consultation with the Manpower Services Commission. I recognise the importance of protecting young people on training schemes against discrimination and I shall write to the hon. and learned Member when our considerations are complete.
