Race Equality Advisory Forum
Appendix B: Lawrence Steering Group members
The Deputy First Minister announced in July 1999 that the Scottish Executive
had accepted almost all of Sir William Macpherson's 70 recommendations. The
Scottish Executive published a separate action plan for Scotland on 20 July
1999. The Deputy First Minister also set up a Steering Group to oversee the
implementation of this plan. In doing so, he envisaged that the Steering Group
would focus on criminal justice and police issues, which make up the bulk of
the Lawrence Inquiry recommendations. At its first meeting on 7 February 2000
the Group agreed the following terms of reference:
"To oversee and audit in a Scottish context the implementation of the Scottish
Executive's action plan published in July 1999 in response to the report of
the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry."
