HC Deb 02 March 1999 vol 326 c691W
Mr. Chope

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what proposals he has to regulate the use of genetic testing in relation to employment; and if he will make a statement. [74145]

Mr. Battle

The Human Genetics Advisory Commission has set up a Working Group under the chairmanship of Mrs. Doris Littlejohn (President, Employment Tribunals (Scotland)) to consider the implications of genetic testing for employment. I look forward to receiving their advice later this year.
