"Thank you for your communication and your enclosure of the report . [ See below]  It is certainly a substantive report which I have now begun to study.

 

The Labour Party has a deep commitment to the issue of inequality and believes measures to address it lie at the heart of its manifestos. Upon completing my study of your report I will forward information to relevant members. In addition I will ensure that our national policy groups have given due attention  to its content.

[ NOTE.  In Greater Manchester, an Independent Inequalities Commission was established to survey the damage done and the inequalities exposed. Its recently published report  identifies a range of actions which are already proven somewhere, which are within the scope of local authorities, and which together could transform the wellbeing of the people of that region. ]
