Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, when he plans to publish the Government's freedom of religion or belief strategy.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office is developing a work-plan and has a “toolkit” which guides our work to promote and defend freedom of religion or belief (FoRB). The toolkit is published and can be seen at https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/561516/Freedom_of_Religion_or_Belief_Toolkit_-_2016.pdf The work-plan is for internal use only and there are no plans to publish it.
