HC Deb 20 July 1994 vol 247 c226W
Mr. Marlow

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment pursuant to his answer of 11 July,Official Report, column 406, whether he is satisfied with the apparent discrimination against the employment of men at the Equal Opportunities Commission.

Miss Widdecombe

Employing more people of one sex than the other does not of itself prove discrimination. The Commission follows good equal opportunities practice in recruiting its own staff, and as one would expect, considers all candidates on their merits regardless of gender, race or other factors.
