Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to ensure Royal Air Force selection boards do not discriminate against new recruits on the basis of skin colour.
Royal Air Force (RAF) Selection Boards recruit candidates in a non-biased and fair way, based on their ability to serve in the RAF. The RAF will continue striving to recruit the best people from the widest talent pool in the UK, assessing candidates on their individual merit, and ensuring they meet the required standards to join the RAF.
