The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether the Government plans to formally adopt a definition of anti-Palestinian racism.

Answered by Alex Norris

The government condemns all forms of racism, racial discrimination and related forms of intolerance. We are committed to combatting it. We have a strong legal framework in place to deal with the perpetrators of racist and other forms of hate crime and expect the perpetrators of such offences to be brought to justice.
