Labour plans to extend equal pay rights to black, Asian and minority ethnic staff

A draft race equality act by the Labour government proposes stronger legal protections for equal pay for black, Asian, and minority ethnic workers, as well as tackling health disparities and introducing a Windrush commissioner.
Concerns are raised that immigration is not substantially mentioned in the plans, despite previous discussions about repealing certain acts.
Some black MPs express surprise at not being consulted about the draft act, and there are concerns that the plan lacks enforcement.
