Written question asked by Lord Lester of Herne Hill (Liberal Democrat), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Baroness Hanham (Conservative) on Monday, 30 April 2012.

Communities: Integration

Question: To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Hanham on 22 March (WA 185–86), whether, in drawing up their strategy on integration, Creating the Conditions for Integration, they consulted Runnymede, Voice4Change England, Show Racism the Red Card, Equanomics and Race on the Agenda.

Answer: Ministers and officials held informal discussions with a very wide range of partners over the year leading up to the publication of our policy approach, Creating the Conditions for Integration, including with all the organisations mentioned. This document sets out our views on what is important to promote integrated communities but does not represent the end of the process. We will continue to discuss our approach with partners and challenge them to take action in response to the issues raised in the document. For this reason we have no plans to publish summaries of discussions to date.
