Implement the recommendations of the Lammy Review

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

For each recommendation of the Lammy Review
- Immediately begin implementation unless there is a clear reason not to
and publish online publicly:
- Whether full or partial implementation is underway
- What actions are being taken
- The reason, if not immediately starting a full implementation.
In response to the current heightened focus on the social disadvantages faced by ethnic minorities, the Government has announced its intention to hold an inquiry. There is public concern that this inquiry may not result in positive change because the findings of previous inquiries have not been acted upon. Priority should be placed on implementing the recommendations of the Lammy Review and communicating progress with the public before holding further inquiries.
