Islamophobia

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 15 January 2025 to Question 22336 on Faith Matters and Tell MAMA: Finance, what her Department's timetable is for confirming funding for (a) monitoring and (b) supporting victims of Islamophobia in the 2025-26 financial year; and whether she plans to put that contract out to tender.

Answered by Alex Norris

The government recognises the discrimination and intolerance faced by British Muslims and will not tolerate Islamophobia of any form. Making sure that British Muslims are not only safe, but also feel safe, is one of our top priorities.

We are grateful for all the work that Tell MAMA has provided for the last decade. We are assessing future funding and will update in due course.
