Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to collate and publish on an annual basis the number of non-criminal hate incidents (NCHIs) recorded per police force; including disaggregating the number of NCHIs recorded which do and do not contain personal data.

The Government is carefully considering next steps relating to the recording of non-crime hate incidents.

His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) consults widely with the sector on its inspection programmes and frameworks. The Inspectorate’s consultation on its 2025-29 police inspection programme closed in October, and a final version will be laid in Parliament in the new year following the Home Secretary’s approval.
