Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Rix (Crossbench). It was answered by Baroness Browning (Conservative) on Monday, 27 June 2011.
Disabled People: Disability Hate Crime
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to help the police and other agencies to respond more effectively to disability hate crime.
- Answer
-
My Lords, hate crime, including that targeting a person’s perceived disability, is an issue that the Government take very seriously. That is why the coalition’s programme for government included a commitment to improve the recording of such crimes. We are also working with the police and others to increase the reporting of hate crimes against disabled people and on ways of identifying repeat victims more quickly.
