Speaking in the House of Commons on 18 June 2025

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

Disability hate crime is one such example. Under the Conservatives, there was a staggering increase of nearly 700% in police-recorded disability hate crime between 2012 and 2023. As chair of the APPG on autism, I am particularly concerned about the impact on autistic people and those with learning disabilities.
