POSITIVE DISCRIMINATION

Early day motion 171, tabled 8 June 2010 by Philip Davies (Conservative). Signed by 2 members.

That this House is very concerned to note that Bristol City Council is restricting work opportunities by excluding white applicants from certain positions; believes that jobs should be given to people on merit irrespective of their race; opposes this form of political correctness in the name of positive discrimination; notes that positive discrimination is simply a form of discrimination which serves to undermine real equality and damages race relations; and calls on the Government to bring forward proposals to repeal all current legislation on positive discrimination.

Signatures by party: Conservative 1, DUP 1.
