answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/06/2019 answer text <p>I would like all councils to celebrate their historic counties, and local events to mark Historic County Flags Day on 23 July would be an excellent way to do that. We will shortly be publishing guidance, a copy of which I sent earlier this year to the leaders of county councils and unitary counties, to help local authorities celebrate their counties’ proud histories and identities, including by celebrating Historic County Flags Day and the flying of Historic County Flags. I am also considering other ways in which we can raise the profile of Historic County Flags Day.</p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 14/06/2019 11:57:19 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/05/2019 answer text <p>The Government is determined to confront hate crime wherever it occurs. Police recorded religiously motivated hate crime has increased in recent years despite a backdrop of a longer-term downward trend in the experience of hate crime overall, according to the Crime Survey of England and Wales. We know that there have been trigger events for increases in hate crime, such as the EU Referendum and the terror attacks in 2017, though data shows that these have been temporary. A significant driver for this overall increase is general improvements in police recording, and through our work with the National Police Chiefs’ Council and third party services such as the Community Security Trust, police are better at identifying whether a crime is a hate crime and victims may be more willing to come forward.</p><p>The Government has a comprehensive plan to tackle hate crime in all its forms, as set out in the refreshed Hate Crime Action Plan published in October 2018, which sets out a programme of work across Government and by the police.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 23/05/2019 11:40:53 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler
