answer text <p>Further to the answer I gave to PQ <a href="https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-question/Lords/2020-03-03/HL2142/" target="_blank">HL2142</a>, the Government currently has no plans to issue any guidance on supporting veganism in the workplace.
