To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will call for a report from London Underground Ltd. on its response to the findings of the Commission for Racial Equality about the use of racist tests in appointing middle managers; and if he will make a statement.

I understand that London Underground Ltd. has already revised its selection methods and introduced equality targets for ethnic minority representation at all levels in the company. The Commission for Racial Equality has commented:

"The solutions introduced by London Underground serve a possible model for other employers".
