White job applicants could be overlooked because of the colour of their skin under proposed equality laws, the Tories warned yesterday.
They said unclear wording in Harriet Harman's Equality Bill could lead employers to start discriminating in favour of minority candidates - rather than hiring on merit.
Men could also lose out if the legislation goes unchanged, Conservative business spokesman John Penrose told the Commons.
The Bill will make it legal for employers to choose a black or female candidate above a white man, as long as they have the same qualifications.
