Debate between Caroline Dinenage and Peter Aldous

Thursday 27th October 2016 Commons Chamber

[Caroline Dinenage]

The Government are clear that we want absolutely everybody to reach their full potential in life, regardless of their background, gender or race. Valuing diversity in the workplace is not just the right thing to do; our economy cannot afford to waste the talent of a single individual.

[Peter Aldous (Waveney) (Con)]
