Race Equality Engagement Group

The question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, who the members are of the Race Equality Engagement Group; and how they were appointed.

Answered by Seema Malhotra

On 18 March, I announced our plans to establish a Race Equality Engagement Group to help us develop measures to tackle race inequality. The Group will be chaired by Baroness Lawrence of Clarendon.

We are in the process of appointing the other members of the Group. Members are being recruited to bring a range of expertise from across the public, private and voluntary sectors and from across the country. These are informal ministerial appointments, by invitation, and are not within the scope of the Governance Code for Public Appointments.
