Islamophobia

Asked by Claire CoutinhoConservativeMinistry of Housing, Communities and Local GovernmentTabled Answered 27 November 2025UIN 89622

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will publish the names of the (a) organisations and (b) stakeholders that have viewed the Working Group on Anti-Muslim Hatred/Islamophobia Definition's draft definition of Islamophobia/Anti-Muslim hatred in advance of publication.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

As part of the Government’s careful consideration of the Working Group’s advice, officials have undertaken some limited and focused informal engagement with stakeholders. It is standard practice for Government to engage stakeholders on policy development.

Following consideration of the above, we will make any relevant announcements in due course.
