## Summary

The Equality and Human Rights Commission has written to Reform UK seeking information about its response to racist and sexual remarks recorded in an ITV undercover investigation. The watchdog is assessing complaints alleging possible breaches of equality law, which could lead to further action.

The year-long investigation showed party councillors and candidates making racist comments about black and Asian people, alongside sexist remarks. Some members left the party after the footage emerged. The EHRC asked what steps Reform is taking to comply with the Equality Act 2010 and said political parties must prevent discrimination and harassment while respecting freedom of expression. Reform said it was confident it had met its legal obligations and that racism had no place in the party.
