Representatives of Muslim organizations inaugurated the Muslim Council of Britain at Brent Town Hall in London. The umbrella body emerged from consultations about coordination, representation and the absence of a collective voice. Its creation provided an institutional base for public engagement and advocacy affecting British Muslims. In the same month, the Runnymede Trust launched its report on Islamophobia, placing discrimination more firmly on the national agenda; the date here belongs to the MCB inauguration.
