answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/02/2018 answer text <p>The Government recognises the importance of ensuring that tenants are aware of their rights and already produces a range information and advice for prospective and existing tenants. In the Housing White Paper 2016, the Government reaffirmed the commitment to improve safeguards in the private rented sector so both tenants and landlords are aware of their rights and responsibilities. To improve the information available, we have created and updated a series of consumer-focused online ‘how to’ guides.</p><p>These guides will help educate and empower potential or existing renters, landlords and property agents so they are confident in making informed decisions and know where to go for support. They will help tenants, landlords and property agents to understand their rights and responsibilities by providing a single source of information for rules, regulations and advice. We plan to publish the new and updated guides on Gov.uk shortly.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 12/02/2018 17:16:53 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/02/2018 answer text <p>Statistics published by the Home Office and available on the website <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/hate-crime-england-and-wales-2016-to-2017" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/hate-crime-england-and-wales-2016-to-2017</a> provide details on the number of hate crimes, although anti-Semitic attacks are not recorded separately. Figures published annually by the Community Security Trust show a disturbing increase in anti-Semitic incidents, with a total of 1,382 incidents reported in 2017.</p><p>That is why the UK became the first country to formally adopt the International Holocaust Memorial Alliance (IHRA) working definition of anti-Semitism. It provides a series of practical examples on how anti-Semitism manifests itself in the 21st century. In addition, Government has provided over £13.4 million (17/18) to ensure the security of Jewish faith schools, synagogues and communal buildings.</p><p>We believe the best way to tackle anti-Semitism is through effective implementation of the UK’s strong legislation against racial and religious discrimination and racially and religiously motivated crime. We also have a strong relationship with the Jewish community which has been built on the solid work of the Cross-Government working group on tackling anti-Semitism. This ensures that we are aware of any issues and concerns of the Jewish community and can respond quickly.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 12/02/2018 17:14:50 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler
