Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when representatives of the (a) Jain and (b) Zoroastrian community were invited to national events organised by his Department in each of the last two years.

The information requested is not held centrally as each event is handled on a case by case basis.

The government is committed to working with all communities and ensuring that the full breadth and diversity is represented. The Jain and Zoroastrian communities of this country have made and continue to make a positive contribution to life in the United Kingdom. The government values this contribution enormously.
