Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 January 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

For all those reasons, in July last year, the College of Policing, at my instigation, together with the National Police Chiefs’ Council and the Home Office, agreed the terms of reference for a review of the non-crime hate incident regime. An interim report was published in October 2025. It is available to read, but the conclusion was that the regime is not fit for purpose. The final report will go to the Home Secretary shortly and it will then, I must emphasise, be a matter for the Home Secretary to decide what the new regime should look like.
