HC Deb 13 March 1985 vol 75 c184W
Mr. Janner

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what arrangements are in hand to ensure that his 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. Hayhoe

Existing joint management and trade union machinery is to be used to monitor such matters as promotion, selection for training and the incidence of part-time working. Positive action includes encouraging women to pursue training through the use of the Civil Service college course in middle management for women only, as well as non-residential management courses.
