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

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Taylor of Stevenage on 14 January (HL13091), whether they will now answer the question put; namely, whether they plan to carry out a public consultation in relation to their definition of anti-Muslim hatred/Islamophobia.

Ministers are still in the process of carefully considering the independent Working Group’s advice regarding a non-statutory definition of anti-Muslim hatred/Islamophobia. Government will confirm next steps in due course.
