The Rt Hon David Willetts MP, Minister for Universities and Science, will introduce the seminar which will include speakers on a range of questions relating to ethnicity including: How diverse is the UK? How much do immigrants move around after arriving in the UK? How much money is sent overseas from the UK to friends and family? What are people’s experiences of racial discrimination in the workplace?
