The Macpherson Report: twenty-two years on

Inquiry

The Home Affairs Committee has confirmed its intention to complete its predecessors’ work on The Macpherson Report:  twenty years on, and will take new evidence on policing and race including on concerns raised about the policing of the Covid-19 lockdown and reported disproportionality in fines and investigations of individuals from BME communities.

In 2020 the Committee has also held two one-off evidence sessions which are relevant to this inquiry:

Police ethnic diversity and the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners on 11 March 2020
