Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they are taking any action in response to the observations recorded and the issues raised in the End of Mission Statement of the Special Rapporteur on Contemporary Forms of Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance at the Conclusion of Her Mission to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, ahead of her final report which will be submitted to the June 2019 session of the United Nations Human Rights Council.

The United Kingdom has a close working relationship with United Nations bodies and a standing invitation to all Special Rapporteurs, and is committed to upholding the rule of law and the rules-based international system. The Government will provide further information to the Special Rapporteur as necessary, and will respond to the Special Rapporteur’s country visit findings, conclusions and recommendations when these are presented to the Human Rights Council.
