HC Deb 26 May 1988 vol 134 c340W
Mr. Snape

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether the proposed legislation on equality of opportunity in employment in Northern Ireland will include the principles upon which a revised code of conduct on fair employment will be based.

Mr. Viggers

The White Paper on fair employment indicates that the future code of practice will be a comprehensive guide to the ways in which employers can discharge their responsibilities under the proposed legislation. As such the code will reflect the principles of that legislation.
