Lord Lester of Herne Hill

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will seek to obtain information as to whether and to what extent Muslim religious and political organisations in the United Kingdom are funded by groups or organisations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. [HL908]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department for Communities and Local Government
(Baroness Andrews)

The Government do not hold information on Muslim religious and political organisations in the UK that are funded by groups or organisations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Government are working with a range of partners to further develop their understanding of all faith communities in the UK and their infrastructure.
