Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether any representatives from Government departments have met with Hope Not Hate; if so, on what dates; and what was the content and outcome of their discussions.

Representatives from the Home Office have met with members of Hope Not Hate on a small number of occasions in the past year, as part of engagement with wider partners on asylum and migration and responding to protest activity.

The Home Office is free to decide who and which organisations it meets with as long as the organisation in question does not act unlawfully. Decisions on individual meetings are taken on a case-by-case basis.
