Stephen Timms – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Prime Minister

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Stephen Timms on 2016-02-04.

To ask the Prime Minister, whether it is Government policy to promote multiculturalism in the UK.

Mr David Cameron

We have been very clear: we are proud that Britain is one of the most successful multi ethnic, multi faith democracies in the world. The Government is clear that people have full freedom here to choose and practice their faith. It is right though to challenge the view held by some that we should encourage communities to develop separately and effectively live in a segregated way. The Government is committed to boosting integration in some of our most isolated communities, and to proudly promoting the British values that we all share.
