The coronavirus pandemic has shone a light on long-standing, structural race inequality in Britain, and raised serious issues that have yet to be fully answered.

Our decision to use our legal powers to undertake an inquiry builds on our previously published Roadmap to Race Equality, which called for a government-wide strategy to address long-standing racial inequalities in all areas of life, focusing on education, employment, health, housing and criminal justice.

The terms of the inquiry setting out the detail will be published in the coming weeks.
