<p>As part of the Government’s response to the Lammy Review, we have set up a Race
and Ethnicity Board to oversee progress on the recommendations, and the wider agenda
of race disparity. The Board currently has circa 22 members and is chaired by the
Ministry of Justice Director General for Policy, Communications and Analysis. Membership
of the Board includes senior level representation from departmental policy groups
(from Ministry of Justice and other government departments), operational bodies such
as HM Prison and Probation Service, HM Courts and Tribunal Service, and the Crown
Prosecution Service, and external members. It is not possible to isolate individual
time spent on race disparity work, as the board members hold these positions as part
of their wider work responsibilities. However, the board was set up in January 2018
and has since met on a quarterly basis. The board does not have a dedicated budget
as work is resourced separately by the various organisations responsible for actions
to address racial disparities.</p>
