We are clear that all forms of hatred, including that based on race, are unacceptable and will be tackled. We have a strong legal framework in place to deal with the perpetrators of hate crime, and we have asked the Law Commission to undertake a full review of the coverage and approach of current hate crime legislative provisions, which will further strengthen this.<\/p>

The Government is now considering a range of options to tackle hate crime beyond the current hate crime action plan. We will work with other departments and civil society partners to explore possible approaches, and to ensure a range of views from communities, including Polish, are taken into consideration.<\/p>

The Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities was also launched to conduct a detailed, data-led examination of inequality across the entire population, and to set out a positive agenda for change. The Government will now consider the recommendations in detail and will respond before the summer.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4877", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Greenhalgh"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Greenhalgh"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2021-04-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2021-04-22T13:19:57.127Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "7"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Housing, Communities and Local Government"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Housing, Communities and Local Government"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2021-04-12", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Immigration: Poland"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the prevalence of xenophobic acts against Polish citizens resident in England.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1137", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Patten"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Patten"} ], "uin" : "HL14808"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/669025", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/669025/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Poland is and will remain an important partner for the UK. The Secretary of State for the Home Department has regular contact with her European counterparts, including Polish Interior Minister Mariusz Błaszczak. Most recently this included an inward ministerial visit to the UK on 5 September, and as part of the UK Poland Intergovenmental Consultations on 28 November. A range of issues of mutual interest were discussed including free movement rights, action to tackle hate crime, and continued security and police cooperation.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1562", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Scarborough and Whitby"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Robert Goodwill"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-01-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-01-13T15:00:52.777Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-01-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Immigration: Poland"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what representations she has received on the concerns of the Polish community since the EU referendum; and if she will make a statement.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/484", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Louise Ellman"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Liverpool, Riverside"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mrs Louise Ellman"} ], "uin" : "58962"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/172697", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/172697/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government regularly considers the impact of migration from the European Union and has published research on this issue. In July 2014 the Migration Advisory Committee published its report on the growth of EU and non-EU labour in low-skilled jobs and its impact on the UK. In the same month the Government\u2019s Balance of Competences report on the Free Movement of Persons assessed the effects of EU migration on the labour market and its impact on local communities.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1091", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Bates"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Bates"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-01-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-01-16T14:24:36.49Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-01-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Immigration: Poland"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Bates on 16 December 2014 (HL3409), whether they will now publish the results of their specific consideration of the sustainability of levels of immigration from Poland to the United Kingdom.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1137", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Patten"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Patten"} ], "uin" : "HL4017"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/169097", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/169097/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The UK is open to the brightest and best, but immigration must be controlled in the national interest. Across government, we are working hard to bring net migration down and address the factors which draw people to Britain for the wrong reasons. Our reforms have cut net migration from outside the EU by nearly a quarter since 2010 - close to levels not seen since the late 1990s.<\/p>

We have introduced tough domestic reforms to ensure that our controls on accessing benefits and services, including the NHS and social housing, are amongst the tightest in Europe. These include measures to prevent EU job seekers and involuntarily unemployed EU workers from claiming Jobseeker\u2019s Allowance for longer than three months unless they have a genuine prospect of work. We have also introduced measures to ensure that new EU job seekers will be unable to access Jobseeker\u2019s Allowance, or Child Benefit and Child Tax Credit, until they have been resident in the UK for three months.<\/p>

The Prime Minister has made clear that further steps are needed to address immigration from the European Union. We have given specific consideration to the sustainability of levels of migration from Poland.<\/p>

The United Kingdom welcomes those who want to come to this country to contribute to our economy and our national way of life, but immigration must be controlled and kept at a sustainable level. Uncontrolled, mass immigration can make it difficult to maintain social cohesion and, puts pressure on public services.<\/p>
