LUROT BRAND HOUSE SALES

That this House condemns Lurot Brand House Sales's action in placing a job advertisement in the Sunday Times on 12th July 1998 seeking a senior negotiator who is "likely to be someone we already know in the profession, public school educated"; believes the advertisement to be discriminatory against women, ethnic minorities and the majority of the population who have not had the dubious benefit of private education, and a crude attempt further to perpetuate class division in society; and calls on the Government to consider taking such measures as are necessary to ensure such advertisements cannot be placed in national newspapers or elsewhere in the future.
