Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to ensure that UK development aid is reaching the most vulnerable religious minority groups in recipient countries; and what steps they are taking to ensure that religious minorities are included in the Department for International Development's development plans.

DFID’s analysis of poverty and vulnerability looks at a range of factors that lead to exclusion. We work closely with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office who lead on the protection of freedom of religion and religious minorities.
