What assessment has the Church of England made of the effectiveness of the Government’s policies on supporting freedom of religion or belief in other countries? The United Kingdom has long worked to promote pluralist values across the globe, welcoming the employment of my hon. Friend the Member for North Northumberland but there is more to do. Will the Second Church Estates Commissioner update the House on what conversations she and her colleagues have had with the Government on their efforts to emphasise the importance of supporting freedom of religion in their conversations with countries with which we are pursuing trade deals?

What discussions has she had with organisations such as Open Doors UK in relation to furthering steps that can be taken to support Christians who are persecuted and have their human rights diminished and reduced every day as a result of their religious beliefs?
