Sikhs: Poverty
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what data her Department holds on the number of Sikh people living in deprivation.
Answered by Alex Norris
We do not hold or collect data specifically on people from religious communities living in deprivation. The Indices of deprivation (2019) are publicly available and can be used to identify patterns of deprivation across England and Wales which could subsequently be cross-checked against Census data relating to the geographic locations of people who identified with a religion.
