Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they will publish names of each of the external organisations and individuals that the Working Group on Anti-Muslim Hatred/Islamophobia Definition met as part of their call for evidence and consultation progress.
The Anti-Muslim Hatred/ Islamophobia Working Group launched a Call for Evidence which closed on Sunday 20 July. It was open to the public and any individual or organisation was able to submit evidence. The government does not routinely publish the details of individual respondents to calls for evidence.
As is standard practice in government policy making, officials undertook limited and focused informal engagement with selected stakeholders as the government considered the advice submitted by the Working Group.
