‘Black English’ and ‘Asian English’ should be census options, MPs say

Exclusive: Cross-party call for ethnicity options to be broadened beyond English' being only within White' category

The cross-party push is a riposte to Reform UK politicians who have claimed that people from minority ethnic backgrounds cannot have English ethnic identity.
