HC Deb 28 January 1991 vol 184 cc401-2W
Mr. Wray

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what support Her Majesty's Government are giving or planning to give to both sides of industry to enable them to take full advantage of a work force estimated to comprise 45 per cent. women by the year 2001.

Mr. Jackson

The Government are firmly committed to the principle of equal opportunities for women and men and will continue to encourage both sides of industry, through education and training, to do all they can to help women reach their full potential. Employers are being urged to adopt family-friendly policies to attract and retain the women they will need.
