Question:
To ask the Office of the First Minister and Deputy First Minister what plans it has to review the current approach to Fair Employment Monitoring Regulations.

Answer:

A review of the current approach to Fair Employment Monitoring Regulations will form part of the process in bringing forward any Single Equality legislation. It is the intention that all Anti-discrimination and Equality legislation is fit for purpose and an integral part of ensuring legislative effectiveness is the duties that are imposed and how they are enforced. The Fair Employment Monitoring Regulations is just one of the elements to be examined in this context.
