asked Her Majesty's Government:

When the report on the findings of the "race relations" review of personnel policies and procedures in the Civil Service will be published.

The Earl of Gowrie

I am pleased to tell my noble friend that a report entitled,Race Relations: A Review of Policies and Procedures in the Civil Service is published today. Copies have been placed in the Library. This report details the findings of the review and makes 30 recommendations as to how procedures can be improved to eliminate the possibility of unfair racial discrimination. The review is evidence of our determination to ensure that there is full equality of opportunity in the Civil Service.
