The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Answer of 11 February 2025 to Question 28705 on Department for Work and Pensions: Muslim Council of Britain, whether the Minister for Social Security and Disability discussed policy on engaging with the Muslim Council of Britain prior to accepting the invitation to the dinner.

Answered by Sir Stephen Timms

Policy on engaging with the Muslim Council of Britain was not discussed prior to attending this event.

This engagement will not be recorded as a ministerial meeting. As the value of hospitality did not surpass the de minimis level, this event will not be recorded in hospitality returns.
