Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, which senior police officer is responsible for the police national strategy on digital intelligence and investigations including Islamophobic online abuse.
This question was answered on 9th December 2020
Islamophobic online abuse is completely unacceptable and has no place in British society. In instances where content of this nature reaches the illegal threshold, the police may treat it as a hate crime.
Deputy Chief Constable Mark Hamilton is the National Police Chiefs’ Council Hate Crime Lead. His role includes promoting Hate Crime standards and awareness across the UK.
