Britain should be seen as a ’model for other white-majority countries’ but more still needs to be done, says a review into race inequality, a conclusion that provoked fury from critics who branded it a ’whitewash’.

London - Britain should be seen as a"model for other white-majority countries" but more still needs to be done, a review into race inequality said on Wednesday, a conclusion that provoked fury from critics who branded it a"whitewash".

"The impediments and disparities do exist, they are varied, and ironically very few of them are directly to do with racism. Too often 'racism' is the catch-all explanation, and can be simply implicitly accepted rather than explicitly examined." Prime Minister Boris Johnson hailed"this important piece of work" which he said was a detailed, data-led examination of inequality and the Conservative government would now consider its 24 recommendations.

Halima Begum, head of the Runnymede Trust race equality think tank told BBC television:"All it is is a whitewash and a script that has been written to 10 Downing Street."
