A source told Sky News the second delay is because of the 'situation in America'.

Responding to the further delay, shadow equality secretary Marsha De Cordova said:"It is unacceptable that this review should be delayed without a given date for its publication. BAME communities need answers.

"If anything, recent events make the release of this report all the more urgent. If the government is serious about tackling racial injustice, they should not be shying away from understanding into why these injustices exist."
