The UK is committed to championing freedom of religion or belief for all, and we are concerned by reports of harassment, vandalism and attacks affecting Christian communities. It is vital that the places of worship used by each religious community are treated with respect and dignity, and that all communities, including Palestinian Christians, are able to practise their faith or belief free from intimidation or violence. Our Consulate General in Jerusalem will continue to engage with church leaders and the Christian community in Palestine, to listen to their concerns.

To ask the hon. Member for Battersea, representing the Church Commissioners, with reference to the Answer of 20 March 2026, to Question 118770, on Church of England: Council Tax, if she will publish a copy of the high-level assessment.

Freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) is a priority for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and the right to FoRB is clearly enshrined in the Turkish constitution. We continue to urge respect for religious freedoms, which are essential to the long-term health of Turkish democracy.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she plans to engage with the Church of England and other denominational sponsors before final decisions are made on the Earned Settlement proposals.
The consultation for the earned settlement model, as proposed in ‘A Fairer Pathway to Settlement’, was open to the public between 20 November 2025 and 12 February 2026.
As part of this consultation, we sought views on the potential impact of the proposed changes and whether there should be transitional arrangements for those already on a pathway to settlement. We also asked for views on whether certain groups should be exempt from the income requirement.
We received over 200,000 responses from the public and organisations are now reviewing and analysing all responses received. This analysis will help inform the development of the final earned settlement model.
Once the final model has been decided, the Government will communicate the outcome publicly. As with all significant policy changes, the proposals will be subject to both economic and equality impact assessments.

To ask the hon. Member for Battersea, representing the Church Commissioners, whether the Church of England has made an assessment of the cost to the Church of England of the new council tax surcharge on residential dwellings occupied by serving or retired Anglican clergy and owned by the Church.

The National Church Institutions of the Church of England (NCIs) have not conducted a formal assessment because the management of council tax levied on vicarages is handled at a diocesan level, and retired clergy are responsible for their own council tax on their retirement properties.
A broad, high-level assessment was conducted shortly after the Government's initial budget announcement in November 2025. It indicated that the proposed changes to council tax would mainly impact dioceses in regions with vicarages in higher property bands, especially the London Diocese. Any extra council tax payable would be borne by dioceses for housing parish clergy, archdeacons, and suffragan bishops; by cathedral chapters for housing cathedral clergy; and by the Church Commissioners for diocesan bishops' housing.
