answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/12/2017 answer text <p>We take hate crime in all its forms very seriously: the United Kingdom has some of the strongest hate crime legislation in the world. The statistical breakdowns provided by Tell MAMA give an invaluable insight into the extent and nature of the deplorable abuse which Muslim citizens are subjected to on account of their belief or appearance. It is notable that most reported offline incidents of anti-Muslim hatred involve male perpetrators and that the majority of victims of offline incidents are women, most of whom are visibly Muslim. The Government has committed funding of £100 million to counter violence against women and girls with prosecutions and convictions for such offences rising 63 per cent since 2007-08.</p><p>This Government has done more than any other to tackle anti-Muslim hatred. We set up the first ever cross-government working group on anti-Muslim hatred. We have funded Tell MAMA, the first service to record incidents, support victims and raise community awareness of how to report anti-Muslim hate incidents. We are also disaggregating religious hate crime data held by the police to reveal the true scale and nature of the problem. Funding has been made available for the security of mosques and other faith establishments.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones question first answered 07/12/2017 17:34:27 answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2017 answer text <p>Across Government we are making huge strides towards rebalancing the economy and empowering local government. We have agreed devolution deals with nine areas across England, with a directly elected mayor in place in six of those already. We have also agreed City Region deals with Cardiff and Swansea regions in Wales. These deals are about much more than just funding. They are about strengthening local leadership and giving local communities greater control over the decisions that affect them. However we have invested to support these deals. In English devolution deals we have given areas control over new long term investment funds. In Welsh City Deals we have invested in proposals to support key sectors and drive growth in the local economy.</p><p>As I’m sure the Hon Member knows, the Chancellor of the Exchequer also announced at Autumn Budget 2017 that Government will begin formal negotiations towards a North Wales growth deal.</p><p>Devolution deal announcements can be found in the following links:</p><p>West Midlands: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/west-midlands-devolution-deal" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/west-midlands-devolution-deal</a></p><p>Greater Manchester: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/devolution-to-the-greater-manchester-combined-authority-and-transition-to-a-directly-elected-mayor" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/devolution-to-the-greater-manchester-combined-authority-and-transition-to-a-directly-elected-mayor</a></p><p>Liverpool: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/liverpool-devolution-deal" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/liverpool-devolution-deal</a></p><p>Sheffield City Region: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/466616/Sheffield_devolution_deal_October_2015_with_signatures.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/466616/Sheffield_devolution_deal_October_2015_with_signatures.pdf</a></p><p>Tees Valley: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tees-valley-devolution-deal" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tees-valley-devolution-deal</a></p><p>West of England: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/west-of-england-devolution-deal" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/west-of-england-devolution-deal</a></p><p>Peterborough and Cambridgeshire: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cambridgeshire-and-peterborough-devolution-deal" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cambridgeshire-and-peterborough-devolution-deal</a></p><p>Cardiff Capital Region: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/city-deal-cardiff-capital-region" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/city-deal-cardiff-capital-region</a></p><p>Swansea Bay Region: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/611685/Swansea_City_Deal_-_English.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/611685/Swansea_City_Deal_-_English.pdf</a></p><p>I refer the Hon Member to the ONS link below for further information on population figures:</p><p><a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/populationestimates/datasets/populationestimatesforukenglandandwalesscotlandandnorthernireland" target="_blank">https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/populationestimates/datasets/populationestimatesforukenglandandwalesscotlandandnorthernireland</a></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 18/12/2017 17:30:52 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry
