Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the timetable is for government departments to report on how they plan to respond to the recommendations of the October 2017 Race Disparity Audit.
Answered by Oliver Dowden - Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster
On the new Ethnicity Facts and Figures website, the Race Disparity Audit brings together thousands of statistics on ethnic disparities covering more than 130 topics in areas including health, education, employment and the criminal justice system. The data shows that there continue to be significant disparities across public services for people of different ethnicities.
The Prime Minister has been clear that where a disparity in how people from different ethnic backgrounds cannot be explained by reference to other factors it must be changed. The Government has already launched a programme of work to tackle ethnic disparities in employment, education and criminal justice. Detailed analytical work is underway across departments to consider the disparities highlighted by the Audit, and further announcements about action will be made in due course.
