answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/07/2015 answer text <p>Strong communities, built on a shared set of values, are the foundations of a strong society. Our approach to integration breaks down barriers: emphasising local action and bringing people together; celebrating what we have in common rather than what divides us and protecting and promoting our core values. My Department has spent over £45 million on integration projects since 2010 as part of a more targeted approach - building integrated communities and supporting British values. This includes £12 million in 2014 - 15 to support 30 projects to build integration, reaching over 335,000 people.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 02/07/2015 11:21:53 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
