asked the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State answering in respect of the Arts what arrangements are in hand to ensure that the Office of Arts and Libraries complies with the monitoring and positive action recommendations of the draft code of Equal Opportunities Commission following the publication on 9 February 1984, the "Programme of Action on Women in the Civil Service".

Equal opportunities policy within the Office of Arts and Libraries follows that for the Cabinet Office (Management and Personnel Office) and so I refer the Hon. Member to the answer given on behalf of my right hon. Friend the Minister for the Civil Service on 12 March at column 124.
