Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, pursuant to the Answer of 9 September 2017 to Question 6824, when the Government Equalities Office next plans to update her on reports of discrimination against non-UK EU nationals seeking employment.

Government Equalities Office (GEO) officials have examined a number of advertisements and notices constituting alleged race or nationality discrimination which the hon. Member has brought to the Government’s attention.

The GEO has forwarded this material to the Equality and Human Rights Commission, which has powers to enforce the Equality Act 2010 in cases where it suspects that unlawful discrimination may have occurred.
