HC Deb 12 January 1998 vol 304 c84W
Mr. William Ross

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if she will list the classes or groups of employers for which the Fair Employment Commission does not require that information about the religious and community background of its work force be published below the level of the organisation as a whole; and what are the criteria which an employer has to meet to receive such status. [22219]

Mr. Ingram

The FEC does not publish information on the religious composition of any employers' workforce below the level of the workforce as a whole.

Mr. William Ross

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if she will list the organisations for which the Fair Employment Commission only requires information on the religious and community background of the workforce as a whole. [22220]

Mr. Ingram

There are none. All registered employers must submit to the Commission annual monitoring returns showing the community composition of their overall workforce and the composition in nine standard occupational classifications.
