Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what assessment she has made of the implications for her policies of the debate entitled The role of political parties in fostering diversity and inclusion: a new Charter for a non-racist society which took place on 20 June 2022 at the Council of Europe; and whether the Government is in favour of a new Charter.

I have made no assessment of the implications of the debate or the new Charter on government policy as the Charter is aimed at political parties, but we appreciate the work of the Council of Europe and in particular PACE in this sphere. The government's roadmap for fostering diversity and inclusion is set out in Inclusive Britain, which I published on 17 March.
