"A senior #Labour #MP has warned that #Jews and #Sikhs are repeatedly missing from vital datasets that shape #publicservice decisions, as a government review into #ethnic classification remains ongoing.

Labour MP #PreetKaurGill, who represents #Edgbaston, made the warning during a #WestminsterHall debate, arguing the issue goes to the heart of how the #UK delivers #publicservices.

She has previously been backed in her campaign for public bodies to to record Sikhs and Jews as ethnic groups by the #BoardofDeputies.

“This is not a theological discussion,” she said. “The Office for National Statistics has told all public bodies that they can only use the current ethnicity data categories for service delivery — and that is really important.”
