To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she plans to ask police forces to publish the standards and criteria they apply when assessing anti-Muslim speech at demonstrations.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she plans to ask police forces to publish the standards and criteria they apply when assessing anti-Muslim speech at demonstrations.
This Government is clear that anti-Muslim hatred is completely unacceptable and has no place in our society.
The Government expects police to enforce the law where appropriate to protect communities and maintain public order and public safety. The Government is committed to upholding freedom of speech, but the freedom to express views does not extend to language, displays of writing or images that incite violence, hatred or criminal behaviour. Whether specific speech, chants, placards or slogans constitute an offence depends on the context surrounding the incident, and decisions on enforcement are a matter for the police.
The College of Policing is responsible for providing guidance to police and is operationally independent from Government. The College produces the Public Order Public Safety authorised professional practice, which covers protests and disorder, and jointly publishes the Protest Operational Advice Document with the National Police Chiefs’ Council. The Crown Prosecution Service has also published guidance on protest-related offences. All of these documents are published online.
Under the replacement system proposed by the College of Policing and National Police Chiefs' Council in their joint review of non-crime hate incidents, non-crime incidents motivated by hostility will be recorded only where there is a clear policing purpose. The new framework is being developed with policing partners and is expected to be implemented in early 2027. Until then, police forces continue to apply existing arrangements for recording and managing non-crime hate incidents.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what guidance the department has issued to police forces in England on the policing of anti-Muslim chants, placards and slogans at demonstrations.

The Home Office collects information on hate crimes recorded by the police in England and Wales. This includes information on religious hate crimes, by targeted religion and offence type; however, we cannot determine which of these offences were recorded at protests or demonstrations, as this information is not centrally collected.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent assessment his Department has made of reports of deaths, injuries and the use of force during recent protests in Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent assessment his Department has made of reports of deaths, injuries and the use of force during recent protests in Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
The UK remains concerned by developments in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, including reports of loss of life among civilians and security personnel. We recognise the concern caused by continuing communications restrictions, particularly for diaspora communities with family in the region. The safety of British nationals remains our top priority, and the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office travel advice continues to advise against all but essential travel to the region.
I raised our concerns directly with Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Ishaq Dar, on 27 August, including the reported loss of life, arrests and communications restrictions, and their impact on British nationals. The British High Commissioner to Pakistan has also raised our concerns with senior Pakistani counterparts. We continue to monitor the situation closely and encourage all sides to show restraint, uphold human rights and resolve their differences through peaceful dialogue.
That this House commemorates with pride the 90th anniversary of the Jarrow Crusade; commends the 200 proud and courageous marchers who set off from Jarrow for London on 5 October 1936 to deliver their petition to Parliament; recognises that the marchers sought to be seen as orderly, responsible and dignified people who deserved the right to work and to provide for their families; acknowledges the hardship and deprivation endured by the people of Jarrow during the Great Depression; further recognises the extraordinary pride, solidarity and togetherness which the Crusade inspired and which remain central to the town’s identity today; pays tribute to the people of Jarrow and the town’s Member of Parliament Ellen Wilkinson, who united in a determined and peaceful effort to demand that the authorities listen to their community; regrets that Parliament and the Government of the day failed to respond positively to the marchers’ plea for employment and did not treat their cause with the respect it deserved; celebrates the 290-mile march as a powerful symbol of community strength, dignity and determination in the face of adversity; and further pays tribute to the enduring legacy of the Jarrow Crusade, which continues to inspire pride in Jarrow and has secured the town a lasting place in the history of social justice and the fight for the right to work.

The hon. Gentleman is absolutely correct that communities must work with one another to deal with the challenges of our time—particularly the rise of racism and fascism, which we see across the world.
