Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, to date, how many recommendations of the Lammy Review have been implemented in full and without qualification.

The Government published its response to the Lammy Review in 2017. Of the 35 recommendations in the Lammy Review, 33 recommendations were accepted, with only the two that related to the independent judiciary which were rejected. Our commitment was to undertake actions against each of these accepted recommendations.

Of those actions we committed to in 2017, almost all have been completed, with work done against each of the accepted 33 recommendations. The remaining 4 actions are underway, for example, long-term recruitment targets to develop a more representative workforce within HM Prisons and Probation Service.

A detailed update on progress against all the recommendations of the Lammy Review was published in 2018, and again in 2020.
