Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what data her Department collects on Sikh people in order to meet its public sector equality duty.

The Public Sector Equality Duty requires public authorities to have due regard to certain equality considerations when exercising their functions, like making decisions. The Department applies the Cabinet Office's consultation principles when consulting as part of the policy making process.

Individual assessments are made by specific policy teams, and any data involved in the assessment process is not held centrally. Details of MHCLG’s public consultations can be found at: Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government - Citizen Space.
