Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they will publish the names of each of the external organisations and individuals that (1) ministers, (2) special advisers, and (3) officials, met to discuss the Working Group on Anti-Muslim Hatred/Islamophobia Definition after it has submitted its report to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.
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.
