Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what recent assessment her Department has made of the levels of discrimination against Chagossians living in the UK.

The Race Disparity Unit has made no assessment of the levels of discrimination against Chagossians living in the UK. The Government is clear that no one in this country should have to endure racism and we are committed to building a fairer Britain and taking the action needed to address disparities wherever they exist. This includes considering carefully the recommendations of the report by the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities that was published on 31 March.

Those who feel they have been discriminated against should contact the Equality Advisory Support Service for help and advice.
