Examination of Witnesses (Questions 10120
- 10123)
10120. Mr Elvin: Sir, we seek to be inclusive
of all communities. Can I make it absolutely clear we have been
in consultation with the Commission for Racial Equality. The Commission
for Racial Equality is content with the way in which matters have
been advanced. If the Committee wishes to see correspondence with
Mr Trevor Phillips, we can provide that. We are very conscious
of these matters. I can give more information to the Committee
in due course if it is needed but we are well aware and very sensitive
to these issues and the importance of them.
10121. Mr Liddell-Grainger: That certainly
will not be necessary, Mr Elvin. I am glad to hear you say that.
10122. Mr Elvin: Can I finally just say
there is an on-going equality impact assessment which is taking
place and that will be part of the further consultation process.
10123. Mr Liddell-Grainger: Mr Elvin,
thank you very much indeed. I now call the Committee to order.
We will meet tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock back in Committee
Room 5 for those of you who are with us.
