Pitt Report (1978)

After the 1977 riots a bipartisan Royal Commission was formed to investigate the underlying causes. It was chaired by Lord Pitt, the only black member of the House of Lords. It provides an in-depth picture of Bermuda’s social, political, and economic issues at that time, which is still informative today. The report also recaps the Wooding Commission’s conclusions from the 1968 riots. The report is recorded in the UK Parliament Hansard at the time.
