What plans his Department has to mark the 200th anniversary of Catholic emancipation.

The 200th anniversary of the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829 will take place in 2029.The Act removed many of the legal barriers to participation in public life for Roman Catholics and was an important milestone in the development of religious freedom in the UK. While the Government currently has no specific plans to mark the anniversary, the Government engages with the Catholic Church along with a wide range of other Churches at national, regional and local level, and remains committed to valuing the contribution which Christians make to society.
