EQUAL OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS

THERE is a strong Jewish presence at the top of Britain’s equality watchdog. David Isaac, new chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, took up office this week, joining Rebecca Hilsenrath, who was made chief executive of the body last autumn. Mr Isaac, a lawyer who was appointed CBE in 2011, was formerly chairman of LGBT charity Stonewall and trustee of the Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Fund.
