I beg to move amendment 165, in clause 36, page 26, line 22, at end insert—
‘(1A) An employer (A) discriminates against a person (B) in the arrangements in subsection (1)(a) if A fails to take reasonable steps to ensure that—
(a) the selection for interview is carried out on an anonymous basis, or
(b) the person selecting for interview does not know the gender, race, sexual orientation, age or marital status of B or whether B has a disability.’.
