Public Bodies: Anti-Muslim Hostility
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the answer of 20 April 2026, to Question 124715, on Islamophobia, in what sectors will sector-specific guidance be provided, what is the timetable, and whether this will include guidance to the police and prosecutors.
Answered by Nesil Caliskan
The government encourages the adoption of the definition across the public, private and third sectors, and them to consider how this definition applies in their contexts.
The government will refer to the definition when developing and revising relevant policy. We encourage relevant organisations, employers and sectors to do the same – with the definition designed for organisations to use in ways that they consider to be useful and lawful.
