POSITIVE DISCRIMINATION
Tabled by Sir Philip Davies (Conservative)

The motion
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.
