answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/01/2024 answer text <p>The Government is pleased to see the overall reduction in police-recorded hate crime across forces in England and Wales in the year ending March 2023, including a 6% reduction in sexual orientation hate crimes. Whilst an 11% increase in transgender hate crime was seen, and this may partly be due to a genuine rise, the biggest driver is likely to be general improvements in police recording along with increased victim willingness to come forward. We are clear that any instance is one too many and we remain committed to tackling these appalling offences. <em>We are supporting the police by providing them with the resources they need. </em></p><p>Part of this necessitates police recruitment and training – there are over 149,000 officers in England and Wales, which is higher than the previous peak before the Police Uplift Programme, in March 2010.

Funding for Gwent will be £179.8 million in 2024/25, an increase of up to £10.7 million when compared to 2023/24.
