<p>The Government is committed to promoting diversity and inclusion in all sport and
physical activity, including motor sport. Our strategy ‘Sporting Future’ sets out
a clear ambition to increase diversity among sporting organisations and to help the
sport sector be more inclusive and welcoming to its spectators, participants and people
in its workforce. However it is ultimately for all individual sports’ national governing
bodies, to decide on the specific aims and appropriate initiatives in their organisations,
and to evaluate progress with these.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>We welcome the
work of the Royal Academy of Engineering and Sir Lewis Hamilton which is aimed at
improving the representation of Black people in UK motor sport. We will continue to
work across government and with sector partners to ensure that inequalities people
from ethnically diverse backgrounds face in sport, including motorsports, are being
tackled effectively.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Sport England, UK Sport and the
other home nations’ sports councils have also recently published the results of a
detailed, independent review into tackling racism and racial inequality in sport.
Following the findings each Council is working to develop their own specific action
plans to deliver on their initial commitments relating to people; representation;
investment; systems and insight. This will involve working closely with relevant groups
or communities to tackle racial inequality in sport, and bring about lasting change.</p><p>
