(4) David Turner QC on Twitter: "@gregbagwell @timdavies_uk @pinstripedline @EHRC @RoyalAirForce Because positive action could only be invoked on a case by case basis, it is difficult to see how it could be a panacea for any failure to meet diversity recruitment targets: if it was so used then clearly there would be a(n impermissible) policy 2/ https://t.co/g2nqrTysVV" / Twitter

(4) David Turner QC on Twitter: "@gregbagwell @timdavies_uk @pinstripedline @EHRC @RoyalAirForce @haynesdeborah Of course, all of this assumes that @RoyalAirForce is hitting its recruitment targets. If it is not, there would be no scope at all for positive action with respect to recruitment even if it is not meeting its diversity targets. 3/3" / Twitter
