Boris Johnson's comments about women wearing the burka have given an
impression that the Tories are "insensitive to Muslim communities", an
independent review has said.
The prime minister ordered a report in 2019 into how the party handles
discrimination allegations.
It found anti-Muslim views were seen at local association and individual
level.
But claims of "institutional racism" were not borne out by evidence of
the way complaints were handled.
However, there is "clear evidence" the Conservatives' complaints system
is "in need of overhaul", Professor Swaran Singh's independent review
into alleged Islamophobia and discrimination in the Conservative Party said.
The report warned it "should make for uncomfortable reading for the party".
But it also said it found "no evidence the party had... systematically
failed any particular community".
Responding to the report, a Conservative spokesman said: "The party is
considering the recommendations set out by the report. We will respond
later."
