Answering Minister

the Right hon. Member for East Hampshire representing the Parliamentary Works Sponsor Body

Answer from Hansard

The Deputy Prime Minister

I thank the right hon. Gentleman for his question. We are committed to championing human rights, including the right to freedom of religion and belief. I join him in marking Red Wednesday, an important moment to show support for all those persecuted around the world for their religion and belief. Today, we will light up Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office buildings in the UK in red in support of that. Envoy roles are under consideration and will be decided on in due course.
