Yvette Cooper

Labour — Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 September 2024

Debate

Violent Disorder

Contribution

I welcome the right hon. Member’s support for the police and the work they did, and for the importance of ensuring that these kinds of crimes are not tolerated and the perpetrators should face consequences. He is right that there were significant attacks on mosques, which is why we brought forward the work on mosque security. He is also right that we need to challenge Islamophobia and anti-Muslim hate wherever it is found. The Deputy Prime Minister is taking forward that work.
