(BBC) The Conservatives have appointed a psychiatry professor to lead its inquiry into Islamophobia and other forms of prejudice within the party.
The party said Prof Swaran Singh would look at how it handles complaints, and tries to clamp down on discrimination.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has previously pledged the investigation would get underway before Christmas.
Tory party chairman James Cleverly said it would help the party “stamp out unacceptable abuse.”
Prof Singh is a former commissioner of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), the watchdog currently investigating anti-Semitism allegations within Labour.
