Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to expand the recording of non-crime hate incidents.

The Home Secretary has been clear that a consistent and common-sense approach must be taken with non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs). The Government has also been clear that its top priority for policing is delivering on the Safer Streets mission to rebuild neighbourhood policing and making progress on its ambition to halve knife crime and violence against women and girls.

The Home Office has agreed that the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC), supported by the College of Policing, will conduct a review on the use and effectiveness of non-crime hate incidents.
