Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, when the first report of Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities will be published.

Since the Prime Minister established the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities in July of this year, it has met with a broad range of stakeholders across sectors around the UK, in each of its priority areas. It has also held evidence gathering sessions with a range of external stakeholders and influencers, and launched a call for evidence on 26 October.

The Commission will aim to report its findings to the Prime Minister at the end of the year.

The Commission is independent, and its Commissioners have been appointed by the Prime Minister.
