[The Secretary of State for the Home Department (Mrs Theresa May)]

When I launched the equality strategy “Building a Fairer Britain”, in December 2010, I made a commitment to report back on its progress.

I have today published a progress update, “The Equality Strategy—Building a Fairer Britain: Progress Report”. It sets out how the coalition Government’s new approach to equality, which is based on transparency, local accountability, and reducing bureaucracy, is beginning to make a difference across the five key priority areas set out in the equality strategy.

Copies of the report are available on the Home Office website.
