Question
to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, with reference to page 18 of the Casey Review, published in December 2016, what the Government's policy is on introducing an oath of allegiance to British values for public office holders.
Answered by Marcus Jones
My Rt Hon Friend, the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government has made clear he will be studying Dame Louise Casey’s Review of integration and opportunity closely.
As part of those considerations, we will consider carefully Dame Louise’s recommendation that British values be included in a new oath for those in public office.
The Government will bring forward a new Integration Strategy in the Spring.
