Original Note:
The Equalities Act allows 'Positive action' in specific circumstances. Positive action does not allow an employer to appoint a less suitable candidate just because that candidate has a protected characteristic. 'Discrimination against white people' would be unlawful. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/positive-action-in-the-workplace-guidance-for-employers/positive-action-in-the-workplace
