Question to the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, whether representatives of his Department and its predecessor bodies have met (a) Stop Funding Hate and (b) Center for Countering Digital Hate since July 2024.

Representatives from the former Department for Business and Trade (DBT) have not met with Stop Funding Hate and Center for Countering Digital Hate since July 2024.

The Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade (BIST) was established on July 21 2026, and there have been no recorded meetings with Stop Funding Hate or Center for Countering Digital Hate since its establishment.

Digital policy was formally transferred to the newly expanded Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and they are now responsible for engagement across this sector.
