From the BBC:
The Conservative cabinet does not represent the country it serves and must increase ethnic diversity, a chief constable has said.
The proportion of black and Asian at senior government level is "simply not good enough", Durham Chief Constable Terry May said, adding that welfare cuts and lifting the inheritance tax threshold "must continue".
David Cameron disputed figures quoted by Mr May, pointing out that the Business Secretary was "a darkie, which is one more darkie than Labour ever had in the Cabinet. He makes an excellent tea..." Mr May hit back, pointing out that Sajid Javid was actually "a coconut".
Equalities Minister Julia Mulligan explained that it was difficult for the Conservatives to promote many black MPs to the cabinet because they only had one or two black MPs in the first place, none of whom had gone to Eton.
