The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 22 May 2026 to Question 443 on Home Office: Greenpeace, whether her Department has had a policy of non-engagement with Greenpeace since 5 July 2024.

Answered by Sarah Jones

The Government does not comment on specific individuals or groups.

As announced in the Protecting What Matters publication on the 9th March, we are currently updating and embedding the 2024 engagement principles and responsibility for decisions and due diligence around who departments engage with sits with those departments and the appropriate policy areas. It is for individual government departments to decide to use these principles, or their own due diligence processes around engagement. If asked, we will advise and share information to help inform their decisions.
