<p>As part of the Government’s response to the Lammy Review, we have set up a Race
and Ethnicity Board to monitor our progress on the recommendations, and the wider
agenda of race disparity. The Board is chaired by the Ministry of Justice Director
General for Offender Reform and Commissioning, Justin Russell. Membership of the Board
includes senior level representation from departmental policy groups and operational
agencies such as HM Prison and Probation Service and HM Courts and Tribunal Service.
There is also representation at an appropriate grade from other relevant Government
departments and organisations including the Parole Board, Welsh Government and the
National Police Chiefs’ Council.</p><p>The scope of the Board is the same as the Lammy
Review, therefore due consideration will be given to the issues experienced by the
Gypsy, Traveller and Roma community. The Board has already met and is considering
how best to engage the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller community.</p>
