Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Hanson of Flint on 11 December (HL2985), why they do not currently hold data on the cost to individual police forces of collecting and collating data on non-crime hate incidents.

Data relating to non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs) is held by individual police forces.

Previous Conservative governments have made the decision to not centrally collate this data in order to minimise the burden on police forces.
