Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking, if any, to provide protection for Christians who are running for public office.

The Government is committed to ensuring the safety and security of all those participating in the democratic process, including those who decide to stand for election. This commitment extends to individuals of all faiths (or none). Any particular added protection for individuals or groups would be determined on a threat-led basis. The physical security of those taking part in elections is organised at the local level.
