The UK’s Ministry of Defence (MoD) has admitted that “some mistakes were made” in recruitment after it was reported the Royal Air Force (RAF) unlawfully discriminated against white men in an attempt to boost diversity.

Sky News reported in August that the RAF’s head of recruitment resigned after refusing to follow an order to prioritise women and ethnic minority candidates over white men.
