To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department plans to take to tackle the rise in transphobic hate crime.
Sarah Dines
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department
The Government takes all forms of hate crime seriously. We expect the police to fully investigate these hateful attacks and make sure the cowards who commit them feel the full force of the law.
The Government is committed to reducing all crime, including hate crime, which is why we have successfully recruited more than 20,000 extra police officers.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
