To Ben's point: if it comes down to whether the fellow has other
employment or not, would it be any reassurance if we required a letter
confirming the Fellow's employment from the employing institution?

We are bound by the Equality Act 2012 in recruitment in any case (
http://www.equalityhumanrights.com/advice-and-guidance/guidance-for-employers/
). This statement could be read as an informal equality policy, which
is something going beyond the provisions of the Act to overtly
describe the organisation's culture; I believe that is how it was
meant.

It is a separate board including Peter Murray-Rust; I'll make that clear.
