Labour’s ruling national executive committee has approved a draft action plan it is required to submit to the Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC)  ahead of a deadline later this week.

In a statement on Monday, following a specially convened meeting of the NEC, Labour said the proposals included steps around changing the party’s culture.

They will now be submitted to the NEC ahead of implementation once they are agreed.

The party has agreed to meet regularly afterwards with the EHRC to monitor progress.

A Labour spokesperson said: ”Labour’s national executive committee has given its approval to the draft action plan it is required to submit to the EHRC this week.

“It covers all the EHRC’s recommendations and is an important step towards Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner’s commitment to rebuilding trust and confidence with our Jewish members and the Jewish community.”
