<p>The Department does not hold this data but the Government takes the view that all
forms of hate crime are completely unacceptable. In October 2018 the Government refreshed
the Hate Crime Action Plan, and committed additional funding to continue to protect
places of worship - since 2016 Government’s Places of Worship scheme has approved
17 grants to Gurdwaras. Additionally, we have committed just over £1.5 million for
projects to tackle all forms of racially and religiously motivated hatred. The Government
has an extensive engagement programme with all faith communities, including the Sikh
community through the MHCLG-led Sikh roundtable. Membership of the roundtable is currently
being refreshed to broaden the representation.</p>
