The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps she is taking to support persecuted Christians abroad.

Answered by Chris Elmore

The issues raised in the Hon Member's questions are all key priorities for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), and our work in these areas cannot adequately be summarised in a single answer. However, he can find regular updates about that work by following the FCDO news feed on GOV.UK, or continuing to attend sessions of FCDO departmental questions.
