Mr. Jim Cunningham

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what discussions his Department has had with prominent Islamic organisations in the UK. [189136]

Mr. Straw

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and FCO Ministers regularly meet a wide range of Muslim organisations, both nationally and locally, as Ministers travel to the regions regularly to meet grassroots organisations. Some of the national organisations include the Muslim Council of Britain, Islamic Society of Britain, Islamic Forum Europe and Union of Muslim Students, among others.

The topics of discussion include a wide range of foreign policy issues of interest to the Muslim community.
