Actually, what I have said is not quite correct.
“In 2008 the government announced proposals to allow limited positive discrimination. Under the Equality Act, employers will be allowed, but not required, to select recruits or candidates for promotion from under-represented groups, where they are equally qualified as the other candidates.”

On the face of it, it generally favours women or ethnic groups however the wording used implies an “under-represented group” so, theoretically, you could argue in a female dominated environment that preference could be made for a man instead. Whether this would happen in practice, who knows.
It covers race, religion, age, gender and pay between these groups.
