Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when representatives of the (a) Jain and (b) Zoroastrian community were invited to national events organised by his Department in each of the last two years.

Government Ministers have attended a number of key events coordinated by Jain and Zoroastrian organisations, and officials have invited representatives from both communities to participate in roundtable discussions where relevant issues are discussed.

The Jain and Zoroastrian communities of this country have made and continue to make a positive contribution to life in the United Kingdom. The Government values this contribution enormously.

There is no central record of meetings to which representatives of the Jain and Zoroastrian community were invited to national events organised by the Department in the last two years.
