Mr. McNamara

asked the Prime Minister, pursuant to the reply to the hon. Member for Winchester (Mr. Browne) of 17 June, if she will give the terms of reference of the review of ethnic minorities in the armed forces; when it was established; by whom it is being conducted; from whom it has received evidence; and if the results will be published.

The Prime Minister

The possibility of introducing ethnic monitoring to the Armed Forces is being considered as part of their routine duties by those in the Ministry of Defence who are responsible for Service personnel policies and practices. This review is nearing completion. An announcement on this matter will be made in due course.
