The Mail reports that "Furious business leaders last night condemned an "intrusive" questionnaire that requires them to reveal how many gays and transsexuals they employ.
The so-called "supplier diversity development questionnaire" is sent to all bidders for contracts with the London Development Agency.
It asks about the racial origin of a firm's employees, then about their sexual orientation.
The questions include: "Is your organisation mostly owned or led by LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transperson) people?" and "What is the percentage of LGBT staff in your workforce?"
The LDA receives £400million of Government funding each year and its board is appointed by London Mayor Ken Livingstone.
It says it needs the data to monitor progress towards its goal of "maximising the diversity of its supplier base"."
This is just typical of Ken Livingstone and his fellow-travellers priorities and the sooner they are consigned to the dustbin of history the better.
