§ Mr. Jannerasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what arrangements are in hand to ensure that his 152W Department complies with the monitoring and positive action recommendations of the draft code of the Equal Opportunities Commission following the publication on 9 February 1984 of the "Programme of Action on Women in the Civil Service".
§ Mr. ButcherExisting joint management and trade union machinery is being used to review such matters as promotion, selection for training and the incidence of part-time working. Women are being encouraged to attend courses (particularly development courses) and to make the maximum use of the training opportunities available. Use is being made of the Civil Service college course in middle management for women only and arrangements are well in hand to run a management course this year in the Department for women only.
