My Rt Hon Friend, the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government has made clear he will be studying Dame Louise Casey\u2019s Review of integration and opportunity closely.<\/p>
As part of those considerations, we will consider carefully Dame Louise\u2019s recommendation that British values be included in a new oath for those in public office. The Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, published an editorial in the Sunday Times (18th December), in which he noted that he was \u2018particularly drawn\u2019 to this recommendation.<\/p>
The Government will bring forward a new Integration Strategy in the Spring.<\/p>
