RACE RELATIONS (AMENDMENT) BILL

Summary

That this House welcomes the positive all-party support that the Race Relations (Amendment) Bill has received throughout its passage in both Houses of Parliament; and calls on all public authorities - the police, central and local government, the NHS and others - all of whose functions will be covered by the amended Race Relations Act 1976, to seize the opportunity provided by this legislation to tackle all forms of racial discrimination, and, as urged by the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry, to examine their policies and the outcome of their policies and practices to guard against disadvantaging any section of our communities.
