UK Employment rights query?


I recently applied for work with a personnel company. They rang me back and offered to do a short telephone interview. The woman asked me if I had any holidays booked or other commitments. I said I had: one day I need off for a private matter, and the other is a long-awaited dental appointment. I can't cancel either. She said in that case I couldn't apply for the job since I MUST be available for training for an entire month. NO EXCEPTIONS. This strikes me as unfair and rigid and discriminatory against people who actually have a real life. Is it illegal? Can a company in the UK do that?

Sure ( they know you won't get a lawyer ) and all that they need to do in defense is to show that others did the month No Exceptions
