Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what extra funding her Department plans to provide to reflect recent changes in the level of recorded hate crime.
The new Government hate crime action plan published on 26 July included extra funding to tackle hate crime.
This includes £2.4 million over three years to provide protective security measures for places of worship that have been subject to, or are vulnerable to, hate crime and £900,000 over three years for community based projects aimed at tackling hate crime.
