Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many (a) reports of, (b) arrests for and convictions for hate crimes there have been in Greater Manchester since 2017.

The Home Office collects and publishes information on the number of hate crimes recorded by the police in England and Wales. Data on the number of offences recorded by Greater Manchester Police can be found in the Open Data Tables for Hate Crime, available here: Police recorded crime and outcomes open data tables - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Information on arrests is only collected at the broader offence level, for example, violence against the person offences, and therefore the level of detail requested is not centrally available.

The Ministry of Justice has responsibility for data on convictions.
