HC Deb 16 March 1989 vol 149 c294W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many prosecutions have been brought against police forces for non-compliance with the Sex Discrimination Act 1975; and if he will make a statement.

Complaints alleging non-compliance with the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 are dealt with under the civil law by applications to industrial tribunals. I understand from the Equal Opportunities Commission that it is not possible to identify applications made against police forces.
