Mr. John D. TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether the Fair Employment Commission was requested to register in accordance with the Fair Employment (Northern Ireland) Act 1989 prior to the nominated date of 15 January 1990; and how many persons are presently employed by the Fair Employment Commission.
§ Mr. Needham[holding answer 26 January 1990]: The Fair Employment Commission is specified as a public authority in the Fair Employment (Specification of Public Authorities) Order (Northern Ireland) 1989 and is therefore automatically treated as registered under the Act. At 19 January 1990, the commission employed 34 staff.
