Conservative — Godalming and Ash

Speaking in the House of Commons on 17 July 2025

Debate

Freedom of Religion or Belief: UK Foreign Policy

Contribution

I thank the hon. Member for the brilliant job he is doing as our religious freedom envoy, which has support across the House. Does he agree that for all sorts of reasons, including political correctness and a worry about being seen to be glorifying our imperial history, our foreign policy has not done enough on freedom of religion and belief, but that countries that start to erode religious freedoms soon erode other freedoms as well, which is why it is vital that we redouble our efforts?
