Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the status is of the Government's response to each recommendation in the Lammy Review.

The Government is taking forward every recommendation of the Lammy Review in some way – where a recommendation could not be implemented in full or exactly as set out, alternative approaches have been sought to achieve the same aim.

The Government published its response to the Lammy Review in December 2017: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/lammy-review-government-response

We provided a public update on progress against each of the 35 recommendations of the Lammy Review in November 2018 in the “Tackling racial disparity in the Criminal Justice System” update: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tackling-racial-disparity-in-the-criminal-justice-system-2018

We are committed to publishing a further full public update against each recommendation of the Lammy Review, along with work above and beyond this to tackle racial disparity in the criminal justice system, before the end of 2019.
