Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what guidance she has provided to police forces on their use of the Government's official definition of anti-Muslim hostility.

The Home Secretary has not provided guidance to police forces on their use of the Government’s non-statutory definition of anti-Muslim hostility. The definition is intended to support understanding and consistency in identifying hostility directed at Muslims or those perceived to be Muslim, and does not change the law.
