Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

The Working Group launched a Call for Evidence to build on the extensive engagement they had undertaken. The Call for Evidence closed on Sunday 20 July. It was open to the public and any individual or organisation was able to submit evidence.

The Working Group did not engage with any organisations that are subject to the Government’s non-engagement policy.
