Proceeding contribution from Lord Peston (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 30 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Education and Inspections Bill.
Education and Inspections Bill
My Lords, the phrase ““genuine occupational requirement”” is precisely what I was asking the noble Lord about. Let me give an example. Regrettably, there is a need for remedial English teaching in some secondary schools, which will undoubtedly involve assistants. Will it be legal to bring to bear a person’s faith in deciding whether to appoint them as an assistant? The noble Lord has not answered me with a straight yes or no.
