Education chiefs have been summoned to Downing Street on Monday for talks with Business Secretary Sajid Javid to discuss why young black men are more likely to be in prison than studying at a top university.
It comes as Mr Cameron has hired a leading black Labour MP to investigate whether the police and court system is racially biased.
David Lammy will lead a sweeping review into why black people are more likely to be in prison than at a top university, and why black criminals are given harsher sentences than white offenders.Personally I try not to ask questions that I think I won't like the answer to.
But what's the betting that Mr Javid and Mr Lammy have already decided what the answer is, and that all they'll have to do next is, er, gently persuade the British Establishment's media wing to agree with them?
(Frankly I don't think that's going to be very hard.)
