Sadiq Khan criticises lack of police progress 30 years on from Stephen Lawrence’s murder

Sadiq Khan has criticised the lack of progress within the Metropolitan Police in the 30 years since Stephen Lawrence was murdered.

Speaking outside a memorial service to mark the day, the mayor of London said that there was still work to be done on racism within the Met.

Mr Khan gave a speech during the service in which he said that Britain's biggest police force was still 'institutionally racist'.

Stephen Lawrence was murdered in April 1993 by five people in a racially-motivated attack.

It took 20 years for two of those people to be jailed, with it later being found that the police investigation was beset with racism itself.
