I am struggling to believe this too - I would have previously said "especially from a Labour government." But I have come to accept that we don't have one!

It would be unfair to discriminate against people that have been to a British school and are therefore illiterate. That would certainly be covered by the rules.

If you did you've been reading the Daily Mail again.

They have said that, all other things being equal, the employer would be permitted to discriminate in favour of women or ethnic minorities.

There is no compunction for them to do so and they would still have to show that the result would be an improvement in the reperesentation of either group in the work place.

It's still a change but not quite in the Daily Mail headline league.
