Lord Hughes of Woodside
Has the Minister had meetings with the British Humanist Association and other non-religious groups?
Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
The importance of freedom of religion and belief is a priority for this Government. As the Minister responsible I am meeting with all groups, including people of no faith and the humanist society, to ensure that the agenda at the Commonwealth summit and the programme for the UK’s two-year chairmanship of the Commonwealth reflect those priorities.
