Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 22 October 2025 to Question 78207 on Hate Crime: Internet, for what reason True Vision was funded via a non-competitive process.

As of the financial year 2020/21, under the terms of a Memorandum of Understanding, MHCLG allocates funding of £80,000 to the Greater Manchester Combined Authority as part of the True Vision programme which aims to support the operation and development of the True Vision resource. The resource is managed by the National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) and directed by its National Policing Lead, and provides a range of services to support victims, professionals, and NGOs. The programme also maintains outreach and audit activity to ensure accountability and knowledge sharing between Police, Government and external stakeholders by contribution to the cost of employing a National Police Hate Crime Coordinator.
