The comments made by Marsha de Cordova, the Shadow Women and Equalities Secretary, on 15 December 2020.
It is deeply worrying that the Government can decide to end a programme seeking to address racism and discrimination in its own workplaces without saying what it’s going to do to combat it instead.
The Government should have a plan to tackle these inequalities which lead to poor pay, poor career progression, and a lack of diversity at senior levels. Inaction shouldn’t be an option.
