Our thanks to Jeff for this. The end of the short piece:

Blanc said that Aviva had acted to sack male employees.

She told MPs: ‘The women in the firm have to know that there is a process for speaking up; that that process will be acted on; that everything will be investigated; and the person who did the bad leaves, not the women.’

‘We have had experiences like that at Aviva, where the woman has stayed and man has gone.’

She said senior white male recruits have to get a final sign-off from her and the chief people officer.

It hardly needs pointing out to followers of this blog, but the “chief people officer” – the Head of Human Remains – is a woman, Danielle Harmer. An extract from her profile:

A key part of her role is creating an inclusive culture

In plain English:

A key part of her role is discriminating against men in general, and white men in particular, with regards to recruitment and promotion
