    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- Exceptions to THAT, the Bill be amended by inserting discrimination immediately after Clause 2E a new clause in the employment as follows:- field 2F (1) It shall not be deemed discriminatory under this Part where, having regard to the nature of the employment or the context in which it is carried out- (a) being of a particular race or particular ethnic or national origin is a genuine and determining occupational requirement; (b) it is appropriate to apply that requirement in the particular case and the person to whom that requirement is applied does not meet it; (c) being of a particular ethnic group is a genuine occupational qualification and ground for discrimination for a job only where- (i) the job involves cultural establishment in a capacity for which a person of that ethnic groups required for reasons of authenticity; or, (ii) the job involves a work of art, visual image or sequence of visual images for which a person of that ethnic group is required for reasons of authenticity; or, (iii) the holder of the job provides person of that ethnic group with personal services promoting their welfare, and those services can most effectively be provided by a person of that ethnic group. (2) The provisions of paragraph (c) of subsection (1) do not apply in relation to the filling of a vacancy at a time when the employer already has employees of the ethnic group in question- (a) who are capable of carrying out the duties falling within that paragraph; and, (b) whom it would be reasonable to employ on those duties; and, (c) whose numbers are sufficient to meet the employer's likely requirements in respect of those duties without undue inconvenience. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, basically, this gives exceptions to discrimination in the employment field and talks about the situations the Minister was referring to by enabling private enterprises to employ as expedient."
