Labour — Northampton North

Speaking in the House of Commons on 6 February 2025

Debate

Hate Crime Prosecution

Contribution

The CPS prosecutes all cases that are referred to it, provided that they meet the full code test for Crown prosecutors. I think we would all admit that there is more to do regarding the incidents to which the hon. Member refers. The CPS and police national hate crime leads are committed to joint working to increase the number of police referrals to the CPS for hate crime offences.
