Equalities spokesperson Anneliese Dodds makes commitment to Black communities amid growing scepticism over Labour's programmeRace Equality ActSpeaking to The Voice, Labour’s chief equalities spokesperson Anneliese Dodds also branded the government’s Rwanda deportation scheme “immoral”, suggesting that the party would scrap it if they win power.
“On ethnicity pay gap reporting we think the evidence is extremely clear that this is necessary, we’ve introduced ethnicity pay gap reporting for the Labour Party and its staff, we think it’s just excuses being put forward at the moment, we want to see it enacted. That’s a clear policy commitment. We need to have a really strong focus on looking at those inequalities within the labor market.”
“We’re continuing to look at the recommendations from people on the taskforce and from those roundtables” she added. “Keir Starmer 2 years ago was absolutely clear that he wanted to see a new race equality act and that was one of the first legislative commitments that the Labour Party has made under Keir’s leadership and there’s really strong political backing for this.”
On the Police Crime Courts and Sentencing bill Dodds stopped short of suggesting that A Labour government would scrap the law – something which many civil rights advocates are demanding – but recognized the concerns many have, in the wake of more police powers, particularly around the right to protest.
