Mr. Grocott

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment whether he has any plans to introduce(a) legislation forbidding or (b) guidelines discouraging discrimination in employment on the grounds of age; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Nicholls

The Government do not believe that legislation of this nature would be beneficial or practical, and there are no plans to issue official guidelines at the present time.
