Interesting that “There are hundreds of thousands of Pakistani or Bangladeshi women who don’t speak proper English or hardly speak it at all.

“That might be through choice in some cases, a cultural issue. But it is a big issue because it does then hold those women back from the employment market and other opportunities.”

So whose fault is that, and how do you change it without appearing "racist"?

And "if these disparities cannot be explained then they must be changed.”

"Communities secretary Sajid Javid the data would not provide the answers to why disparity existed, but said the government wanted to work with outside groups to come up with ways it could tackle the injustice.

“We are not pretending today we are sitting here with all the answers, some of them might have a rational explanation but others will require action,”

That's backwards. If you can't explain them, you don't know how to change them.
