Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, 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.

Government Ministers have attended a number of key events coordinated by Jain and Zoroastrian organisations, and officials from MHCLG have invited representatives from both communities to participate in roundtable discussions where relevant issues are discussed.

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.
