Lord Keen of Elie
I agree with the noble Baroness that we, on all sides of this House, are ready to condemn racism and xenophobia. We have a common interest and a common outlook in so far as this is concerned. With regard to the increase in reported race hate crime, there have been significant increases in the period 2010 to 2016, but one must be careful of these statistics because much of the increase is attributed to the fact that we have introduced a better reporting system, including the reporting portal, True Vision.
Lord Tebbit (Con)
My Lords, would it not be a good idea if we all took Her Majesty the Queen’s advice and just calmed down a little?
