Ethnic Minorities And Political Parties

EDM number 165 in 2000-01, proposed by Ieuan Wyn Jones on 09/01/2001.

That this House notes with concern that the Warwick University survey conducted in April 2000 found that 'Black youths stated their No. 1 political issue for not getting involved was the lack of Black politicians'; recommends that all mainstream political parties should demonstrate their willingness to tackle the lack of ethnic minorities both as members within their parties and as elected representatives; and further believes that all political parties should make an explicit commitment to recruit, retain and promote the abundance of talent from within the UK's ethnic minority communities.

This motion has been signed by a total of 142 MPs.
