§ Mr. MarlowTo 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 WiddecombeEmploying more people of one sex than the other does not of itself prove discrimination.
