British multiculturalism operated through local councils, never as national policy.
Evidence
We should be clear that multiculturalism was never an official policy in Britain: there was no British equivalent of the Canadian Multiculturalism Act of 1988, officially enshrining toleration of difference. However, inasmuch as recognition of the needs of minority groups came to affect civil society in Great Britain, it did so primarily in those areas where social provision—education, housing, and cultural activities—was in the gift of sympathetic local authorities. — Peter Morey, Islamophobia and the Novel, 154
