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 124793, on Social Cohesion Action Plan, whether (a) MEND, (b) CAGE, (c) MAB or (d) MCB submitted written evidence to the working group on the Islamophobia definition.

Answered by Nesil Caliskan

The Anti-Muslim Hatred/Islamophobia Working Group launched a Call for Evidence which closed on Sunday 20 July. It was open to the public and any individual or organisation was able to submit evidence.

The department does not engage with MEND, CAGE, the Muslim Association of Britain or the Muslim Council of Britain and the Working Group did not meet with any of these organisations.
