Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she has set a date for publication of the report of the independent review of public order and hate crime legislation by Lord Macdonald of River Glaven KC received by her Department in May 2026.

Lord Macdonald submitted the report of the Independent Review of Public Order and Hate Crime Legislation on 29 May. The Government is giving careful consideration to the report’s findings and recommendations as it prepares its response.

We plan to publish the report and the Government’s response together and will provide an update to Parliament in due course.
