Anti-Muslim Hostility: Hate Crime
Asked by: Apsana Begum (Labour - Poplar and Limehouse)
Tuesday 1st September 2026

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment she has made of the trends in the levels of anti-Muslim hate crime nationally, and what assessment she has made of the sufficiency of government data reporting on anti-Muslim hate crime.

Answered by Sarah Jones - Minister of State (Home Office)

This Government is committed to tackling all forms of hate crime, including anti-Muslim hate crime, and to ensuring the safety and protection of all communities.

The Home Office publishes official statistics on police-recorded hate crime in England and Wales, including religious hate crime by targeted religion. The latest release is available on GOV.UK: Hate crime, England and Wales, year ending March 2025 - GOV.UK

In the year ending March 2025, there was a 19% rise in religious hate crimes targeted at Muslims (from 2,690 to 3,199 offences, excluding Metropolitan Police Service data). There was a clear spike in these offences following the Southport murders and subsequent disorder in August 2024.

The Home Office keeps hate crime data under review and works closely with the police to improve the quality and coverage of police-recorded hate crime data.

Immigration: Ukraine
Asked by: Will Forster (Liberal Democrat - Woking)
Tuesday 1st September 2026

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she plans to continue the Ukraine Permission Extension Scheme.

Answered by Jo White - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Home Office)

As the conflict in Ukraine continues, the Government recognises the impact that uncertainty can have on Ukrainian individuals and families who have built their lives in the UK.

The Government has therefore taken concrete steps to provide greater certainty and stability. The Ukraine Permission Extension (UPE) scheme has been extended, allowing Ukrainians who continue to require sanctuary in the UK to apply for a further 24 months' permission. Through UPE, eligible individuals can secure up to three and a half years' permission in total, in addition to any permission previously granted under the Ukraine Schemes.

This means the first grants made under the UPE extension will not begin to expire until August 2028. The Government recognises the importance of longer-term clarity and will ensure that a clear position is in place before those extensions begin to expire.

No decisions have yet been taken on whether the Ukraine Permission Extension Scheme will continue beyond the current extension period. The Government is actively considering the future position, drawing on evidence from across government, academia, civil society and stakeholder engagement. It will respond in a responsible and considered manner and intends to make a further statement as soon as it is possible, to support Ukrainians in planning effectively for their futures.

European Programme for Integration and Migration
Asked by: David Simmonds (Conservative - Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner)
Tuesday 1st September 2026

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether the Government contributes to the European Programme for Integration and Migration.

Answered by Jo White - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Home Office)

To determine whether the Home Office contributes funding to the European Programme for Integration and Migration would require extensive searches across a number of Home Office business areas and financial records.The information could therefore be obtained only at disproportionate cost, as the cost of identifying, locating, retrieving and extracting the relevant information is estimated to exceed the disproportionate cost threshold of £850.

Animal Experiments: Temperature
Asked by: Siân Berry (Green Party - Brighton Pavilion)
Wednesday 2nd September 2026

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to assess and improve the standards under which laboratory animals, including dogs, are bred and kept in extreme heat episodes.

Answered by Sarah Jones - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 (ASPA) provides robust protections for animals bred, supplied or used in scientific procedures. Under ASPA, licensed establishments are responsible at all times for ensuring the welfare of animals in their care, and establishments must comply with the standards set out in the Code of Practice for the care and accommodation of animals bred, supplied or used for scientific purposes, and the terms of their licences. This includes ensuring appropriate arrangements are in place during periods of extreme weather including effective monitoring, contingency planning and sufficient trained staff to maintain animal welfare and facility standards.

Standard licence conditions mandate that daily checks of animal welfare and environmental conditions are undertaken by competent and appropriately trained personnel. Any concerns identified must be assessed and acted on promptly to minimise avoidable harm or distress to animals.

The Home Office Regulator assesses compliance with ASPA through a programme of announced and unannounced audits, which inspect the health, welfare and environmental conditions of animals at licensed establishments. Where required, ASRU may request updates from establishments on environmental conditions, including temperature monitoring, to ensure that appropriate standards of animal welfare are maintained.

Police: Workplace Pensions
Asked by: Edward Morello (Liberal Democrat - West Dorset)
Wednesday 2nd September 2026

Question to the Home Office:

Answered by Sarah Jones - Minister of State (Home Office)

I refer the Hon. Member to the response given to UIN 5163 on the 3rd June 2026.

Body Searches
Asked by: Siân Berry (Green Party - Brighton Pavilion)
Tuesday 1st September 2026

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of her Department's annual stop and search data release finding that the majority of strip searches were carried out on the suspicion of drug possession.

Answered by Sarah Jones - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Government recognises that strip search is one of the most intrusive powers available to the police and that its use must be lawful, necessary, proportionate and subject to robust safeguards, particularly where children and vulnerable people are involved. Use of strip search powers should be on the basis of operational need in line with the legal thresholds. We are considering reforms to the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 Codes of Practice to strengthen safeguarding, accountability and transparency. The Home Office publishes data on strip searches conducted in custody and following stop and search as part of the annual statistical bulletin Police powers and procedures England and Wales statistics - GOV.UK, and continues to work with police forces to improve the quality and completeness of this data. This data includes information on self-defined ethnicity, sex, age, search location, supervisory involvement, appropriate adult attendance and safeguarding referrals, helping to improve transparency, scrutiny and understanding of disproportionality. There are currently no present or future obligations for police forces as part of the data collection requirements supporting the publication of this bulletin to send the Home Office additional characteristics of child vulnerability such as child in need status, looked after child status, Special Educational Needs and Disabilities status and medical vulnerabilities status. However, these data may be held directly by individual forces. As part of the annual statistical bulletin, the Home Office also collects and publishes information on the number of strip searches. However, this data is not linked to previous years. The most recent data is available on gov.uk: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/69d50cc885ac94fabd46251c/custody-person-data-pivot-tables-year-ending-march-2025.xlsx Published data show that drugs are the most common reason for strip searches. Police may use search powers to search for prohibited items, including drugs, offensive weapons and stolen property, where the relevant legal thresholds are met. Recent increases in arrest rates following stop and search, shown in the Home Office’s annual data publication, suggest that these powers are being used in a more targeted manner. The Government keeps the use of strip search powers under review, informed by published data, inspection findings and stakeholder engagement, including recommendations from the Children’s Commissioner. Operational decisions on the use of police powers, and local recording practices, remain matters for individual chief constables.

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she has plans to help ensure that the recording of the ethnicity of individuals who are strip searched is based on their self-identification.

Metropolitan Police
Asked by: John Milne (Liberal Democrat - Horsham)
Tuesday 1st September 2026

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department took to consult experienced police personnel in the development of the Metropolitan Police's new frontline policing rotation policy.

Answered by Sarah Jones - Minister of State (Home Office)

Police forces are operationally independent and the deployment of officers remains an operational decision. It is for the Metropolitan Police Commissioner to decide how to allocate the resources available to the force, including the deployment of police officers and staff, to provide an effective service and keep Londoners safe.

Understanding the views and experience of the police workforce will be an important part of successfully delivering police reform.

Retention of experienced officers is important to policing. Expertise and experience built up during a police career can be extremely valuable, which is why forces should also be using effective evidence-based strategies to manage retention and progression of existing officers. Data on the rate of police officer leavers is published as part of the annual Home Office police workforce publication. [note: the latest data as at 31 March 2026 will be published on 22 July].

Corruption: Bangladesh
Asked by: Apsana Begum (Labour - Poplar and Limehouse)
Tuesday 1st September 2026

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether authorities in the UK have commenced the process of repatriating assets to Bangladesh previously frozen after being identified as proceeds of corruption.

Answered by Dan Jarvis - Minister of State (Home Office) (Security) (Jointly with the Cabinet Office)

The UK is committed to fighting corruption and illicit finance both domestically and internationally. The UK is fully committed to recovering and returning corruptly obtained assets. This must be done in accordance with legal due process, which can take time, but ensures a fully fair and transparent process.

The National Crime Agency is part of the UK's effort to support Bangladesh in this area, as well as wider engagement on law enforcement issues. As a matter of policy, we do not routinely confirm or deny NCA investigations.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to help stop organised crime involving vehicle theft.

Answered by Sarah Jones - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Government recognises the severe impacts that vehicle theft has on individuals, businesses and industry.

The Government is determined to ensure that crimes such as these receive the response they deserve. A central aim of the Government’s police reforms is to protect and revitalise neighbourhood policing: by lifting national responsibilities from local forces, we will allow the police to focus on tackling local issues, such as vehicle crime. We have also strengthened neighbourhood policing capacity, with a further 3,000 police officers and police community support officers placed into neighbourhood roles in less than a year.

The Government is also ensuring that the police have the powers necessary to tackle vehicle crime. The Crime and Policing Act 2026 introduces two new offences criminalising the possession, importation, making, adapting and supply of electronic devices used in vehicle theft.

Since 2024, the Home Office has provided almost £1 million For the National Vehicle Crime Reduction Partnership, to strengthen the enforcement response to organised vehicle theft and export. This funding has supported enforcement activity inland and at ports, including funding additional staff, police training and specialist equipment. A further £300,000 has been committed this year.

Information on stolen vehicles is already shared across law enforcement and with relevant partners to support the prevention, detection and investigation of vehicle crime. Current arrangements also support the circulation of stolen vehicle information through national and international policing channels, including INTERPOL databases. Decisions on the wider public release of stolen vehicle data would need careful consideration of operational impacts, including whether publication could inadvertently assist criminal activity.

West Midlands Police
Asked by: Andrew Mitchell (Conservative - Sutton Coldfield)
Tuesday 1st September 2026

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the full time equivalent police officer workforce was on the most recent date for which data is available in West Midlands Police; and if she will forecast the expected numbers for the next 5 years.

Answered by Sarah Jones - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Home Office collects and publishes data on the size of the police workforce in England and Wales on a bi-annual basis in the ‘Police Workforce, England and Wales’ statistical bulletin, available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/police-workforce-england-and-wales. Information on the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) police officers, police staff and designated officers, and police community support officers (PCSOs) is broken down by Police Force Area in England and Wales. The latest data, for West Midlands Police, as at 30 September 2025, is available in Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3 of the accompanying data tables: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6978e47175d4437096552078/police-workforce-sep25-tables-280126.ods. Data on the police workforce as at 31 March 2026 will be published on 22 July 2026. From 1 April 2026, this Government has removed the requirement for forces to achieve a target number of officers. This gives Chief Constables, PCCs and Mayors with PCC functions the flexibility to manage their budgets to provide a workforce with the right blend of officers and staff, that delivers the best operational outcomes for the communities they serve. The Government does not maintain forecasts of officer numbers over future years. Forces will make individual decisions on the shape of their workforce in light of future funding arrangements.

Government Departments: Public Consultation
Asked by: David Simmonds (Conservative - Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner)
Tuesday 1st September 2026

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the answer of 16 June 2026, to Question 7457, on Anti-Muslim Hatred/Islamophobia Definition Working Group, and to Question 8184, on Home Office: Greenpeace, for what reason the Government has stated (a) it does not engage with MEND, CAGE, the Muslim Association of Britain or the Muslim Council of Britain, but (b) does not comment on non-engagement policies with specific individuals or groups.

Answered by Dan Jarvis - Minister of State (Home Office) (Security) (Jointly with the Cabinet Office)

Although the Government has a policy of not commenting about groups or individuals, there are cases where it is in the public interest to do so. The Government has previously made the decision to not engage with organisations that have taken positions that contradict our fundamental values and have not explicitly retracted these positions.

The Government is committed to engaging with a broad range of leaders and organisations across many different communities and civil society groups. Engagement with communities can strengthen our democracy, our policymaking and our society.

As highlighted in the Government's social cohesion action plan, Protecting What Matters, the Home Office is updating and embedding the 2024 engagement principles to assist public bodies to not confer legitimacy, funding or influence on extremist groups.

Licensed Premises
Asked by: David Simmonds (Conservative - Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner)
Tuesday 1st September 2026

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what statistics are collated from local authorities on the number of licensed premises under the Licensing Act 2003.

Answered by Sarah Jones - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Home Office publishes biennial statistics on alcohol licensing in England and Wales, based on data collected from local authorities under the Licensing Act 2003.

These statistics include information on the number of personal and premises licenses on issue, and the number of club premises certificates. They also include information on other licensing activity, such as cumulative impact areas, late night levies, premises licence reviews, 24-hour alcohol licenses, temporary event notices and licenses revoked in relation to spiking concerns.

The latest available data is for the year ending 31 March 2024 and can be accessed at the following link:

https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/alcohol-and-late-night-refreshment-licensing-england-and-wales-statistics

Data for the year ending 31 March 2026 will be published between October and November 2026.

Nitrous Oxide: Anti-social Behaviour
Asked by: Wendy Morton (Conservative - Aldridge-Brownhills)
Tuesday 1st September 2026

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the effectiveness of the prohibition on nitrous oxide in reducing anti-social behaviour associated with its misuse.

Answered by Sarah Jones - Minister of State (Home Office)

We are taking a coordinated approach across Government to tackle the supply and misuse of illegal drugs. This includes law enforcement activity, engagement with technology companies, education for users so they understand the risks and harms; as well as requiring online platforms to take responsibility for content on their platforms.

Since November 2023, Nitrous Oxide has been controlled as a Class C drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. Under the 1971 Act, it is an offence to produce, supply, offer to supply, possess, possess with intent to supply, import and export nitrous oxide. Illicit possession and supply carry penalties of up to two years’ imprisonment and 14 years’ imprisonment respectively. Guidance and the circular relating to the ban can be found here: 006/2023: Control of nitrous oxide under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 (accessible) - GOV.UK. There are no plans to update this.

The police and other law enforcement agencies are operationally independent, but we expect them to prioritise resources towards tackling crime, including drug-related crime, with a focus on those offences that cause the most harm. Enforcement activity on nitrous oxide has increased. In the year ending March 2025, Police and Border Force made 6,223 seizures of nitrous oxide in England and Wales, the highest number recorded since the time series began in year ending March 2018.

Data on the prevalence of misuse of nitrous oxide is published by the Office for National Statistics, through the Crime Survey for England and Wales. In the year ending March 2025, 0.5% of 16- to 59-year-olds in England and Wales reported using nitrous oxide in the last year. Data is not available for the 18–24-year-old group specifically, but data relating to 16-24-year-olds shows that 1.3% reported using nitrous oxide in the year ending March 2025. This is the lowest proportion of nitrous oxide users reported in the Crime Survey for England and Wales and the reported proportion of users has reduced each year since the substance became a Class C drug. Data is available here:

https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/articles/drugmisuseinenglandandwales/yearendingmarch2025

The Online Safety Act 2023 places clear legal duties on online platforms to implement systems and processes that prevent users from encountering illegal content (which would include illegal drugs sales online) and to ensure that such content is swiftly removed once they become aware of it. Ofcom is monitoring compliance and can take enforcement action including fines of up to £18 million or 10% of global revenue (whichever is greater). In the most serious cases, Ofcom can seek a court order to block a site in the UK.

Nitrous Oxide: Crime
Asked by: Wendy Morton (Conservative - Aldridge-Brownhills)
Tuesday 1st September 2026

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what guidance her Department has issued to police forces on the enforcement of offences relating to nitrous oxide; and whether she plans to update that guidance.

Motor Vehicles: Theft
Asked by: Luke Taylor (Liberal Democrat - Sutton and Cheam)
Tuesday 1st September 2026

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will take steps to make data showing whether vehicles have been reported stolen publicly available free of charge.

Written Answers
Livestock Industry: Migrant Workers
Asked by: Bell Ribeiro-Addy (Labour - Clapham and Brixton Hill)
Wednesday 2nd September 2026

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the end of Seasonal Shearer Visas in 2027 on sheep welfare.

Answered by Stephen Morgan - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

The department recognises that the annual shearing of sheep is essential to managing the health and welfare of the UK flock of around 30m sheep, and the continued challenges that the industry faces each year in sourcing sufficient numbers of trained shearers.


The department is also aware that shearers from countries such as Australia and New Zealand share skills and expertise with UK sheep farmers in addition to supporting the health and welfare of the UK flock.


Visa concessions are a matter for the Home Office.
