Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with the government of Pakistan, if any, about the (1) safety, and (2) well-being, of around two hundred Jews living in that country.

Protecting religious minorities is central to the UK Government's human rights engagement in Pakistan. We regularly raise the treatment of minority communities at a senior level with the Government of Pakistan. Most recently, on 14 December, I discussed freedom of religion or belief and the need to promote respect for all religions with Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.
