Labour — Coventry North West

Speaking in the House of Commons on 23 October 2025

Debate

Black History Month

Contribution

I thank the right hon. Member for raising that point. The Government are looking at how to address educational outcomes for all groups. It was heartbreaking to hear from my hon. Friends the Members for Brent East (Dawn Butler) and for Wolverhampton West (Warinder Juss) about their experiences of racism. Racism is completely unacceptable and has no place in our society, and any instance in which it occurs must be treated with the utmost seriousness. That is why we have a strong legal framework in place to deal with the perpetrators of racist and other forms of hate crime, and we expect the perpetrators of this abhorrent offence to be brought to justice.
