Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, with reference to the report entitled A Decade of Anti-Muslim Hate published by TellMAMA on 20 July 2023, whether he has made an assessment of the implications for her policies of the finding that the number of cases of anti-Muslim hate crime doubled between 2012 and 2022.

All forms of racial and religious discrimination have no place in our communities. No one should ever be a victim of hatred because of their religion or belief and the Government continues to work with police and community partners to monitor and combat it.

Tell MAMA are a key partner in this work and the findings of the 10-year report will continue to help inform Government policy and support victims of anti-Muslim hatred. We have supported them since 2012 with nearly £5 million of funding.
