The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the Answer of 25 March 2026 to Question HL15625 on Islamophobia, if he will place a copy of the Equalities Impact Assessment on the definition of anti-Muslim hostility in the Library.

Answered by Nesil Caliskan

In line with the Public Sector Equality Duty, Ministers considered equalities impacts as part of the advice provided to them ahead of the publication of the non‑statutory definition of anti‑Muslim hostility. That analysis forms part of internal policy advice to Ministers and was not produced for publication.
