Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their assessment of the report <i>Living with Difference</i> published on 7 December 2015 by the Woolf Institute, following the work of the Institute's Commission chaired by Baroness Butler-Sloss; and what action they plan to take on the recommendations made.

The Government welcomes this report and its contribution to the debate on faith in Britain today. We continue to celebrate the role of faith in society, with a particular emphasis on cooperation between different faiths as a way of breaking down barriers and strengthening communities.

The report raises a number of questions for a range of organisations. I will ensure that all Government Departments consider the recommendations relevant to their individual policy areas.
