That this House notes with concern the Metropolitan Police's failure to properly resolve complaints of racial discrimination and harassment by black, Asian and other ethnic minority officers and staff; recommends that equal opportunities training be given regularly to serving officers; suggests that officers complaining of racial discrimination or harassment are able to obtain independent advice and assistance; and calls for an independent body to review every accusation of racism.
