The Commission on the Future of Multi-Ethnic Britain's
Questionnaire

The Aim of the Commission

The Commission will look at Britain now and at how it will develop over the next twenty years. We know Britain is becoming increasingly diverse and want to consider what this means for the nation's politics, society and culture. We have seen positive and negative developments over the past 30 years and want to look at the impact of both on future generations. We will look at the law and politics in the UK and Europe and recommend change if we believe they are needed to achieve social cohesion and respect for diversity.

The Commission is very keen to hear your comments concerning the following five questions, which it has identified as being of concern to the whole nation.

  1. Do our democratic institutions belong equally to all citizens?
  2. Are we building a culture which facilitates mutual understanding and respect?
  3. How can families be supported to provide security and a springboard for the next generation?
  4. Do the opportunities and rewards for work recognise that employment dominates our life chances?
  5. How can everyone feel safer in their communities and what is the role of the justice system?
If there are others which you think are important, please, let the Commission know. To send in evidence and comments or get in touch informally, please, write to:

The Director,
The Commission on the Future of Multi-Ethnic Britain,
