Religious Freedom
The question
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to help protect religious minorities.
Answered by Anneliese Dodds
This government is clear that no one should be disadvantaged because of their religion or belief. The Equality Act 2010 provides protection from discrimination to anyone with a religious or philosophical belief, as well as to those who lack a religion or belief.
The Minister for Women and Equalities will continue to work with the Minister for Faith in MHCLG to ensure that people of faith are not discriminated against, in line with the Act.
