Recognition Of Sikhs As A Distinct Ethnic Category (EDM374)

Recognition Of Sikhs As A Distinct Ethnic Category

EDM number 374 in 1998-99, proposed by Marsha Singh on 02/03/1999.

That this House believes in the importance of the statistical accuracy of the 10 yearly population census; notes that the information gathered is used to determine the distribution of scarce resources between disparate geographic and ethnic communities; further notes that many local authorities collect ethnicity data on the significant minority communities that live within their jurisdiction; and urges the Office for National Statistics to revise the ethnicity categories for the 2001 census and include Sikhs as a distinct ethnic group.

This motion has been signed by a total of 90 MPs.
