Question to the Home Office:

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

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.
