To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the answer of 21 May 2026, to Question 199, whether the National Crime Agency will be adopting the anti-Muslim hostility definition.
Nesil Caliskan

The government encourages the adoption of the definition across the public, private and third sectors, and them to consider how this definition applies in their contexts.
The government will refer to the definition when developing and revising relevant policy. We encourage relevant organisations, employers and sectors to do the same – with the definition designed for organisations to use in ways that they consider to be useful and lawful.
