Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Nusrat Ghani and Robert Buckland

Thursday 29th June 2017 Commons Chamber

[Ms Nusrat Ghani (Wealden) (Con)]

I am not quite sure how to follow that. Will my right hon. and learned Friend join me in recognising the great work that is done by Tell MAMA and Hope not Hate, who build the confidence in those who suffer hate crime to report it?

[The Solicitor General]

I am grateful to my hon. Friend. Tell MAMA and other organisations play an important part by working closely with the CPS and police to inform the process and help people to report crime. Often people will go to a third party before coming to the police, but that is an acceptable way to report crime because it means that more crimes can be prosecuted.
