Campaigners raise concerns after source quoted as saying term ‘unhelpful and redundant’
Campaign groups have expressed concern that a racial disparity commission set up by Boris Johnson might achieve little of substance following a report that one of its main recommendations will be that public organisations no longer use the term “BAME”.
Downing Street has refused to comment on the claim that one of the key proposals from the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities, which is due to produce its delayed report imminently, is based around the term, which stands for black, Asian and minority ethnic.
