Lord Reed says all-white and male-dominated court of appeal needs to change
The president of the UK’s supreme court hopes to see a justice from a BAME background among the 12-strong body in the coming years.
Lord Reed, who became a justice in the court in February 2012 and succeeded Lady Hale as president in January, said a lack of diversity among justices was a situation that “cannot be allowed to become shameful if it persists”.
