Anti-Semitism
Chris Huhne: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) pursuant to the answer of 29 January 2010, Official Report, column 1127W, on anti-Semitism, whether figures on occurrences of anti-Semitism have been added to the annual data requirements for police community safety figures; [317145]
(2) with reference to the answer of 18 March 2009, Official Report, column 1154W, on anti-Semitism, whether the five data requirements of hate crime have been added to the annual police community safety figures; and what data have been collected on anti-Semitic incidents. [317103]
Alan Johnson: The Annual Data Requirement (ADR) has not yet been extended to cover crime data disaggregated by the five hate crime strands. The situation is being resolved in order that these data can be collected as part of the ADR from April 2011. This is the next occasion in the annual data cycle that this will be possible. The extension to the ADR will not enable us to disaggregate the data on racist offences in order that we can identify specific data on anti-Semitic crimes.
The ACPO National Community Tension Team (NCTT) has been collating data on anti-Semitic crimes since April 2008. The data are collated as an intelligence document and has not been published previously. We are seeking publication of these data at the earliest opportunity in order that indicative figures on anti-Semitic hate crime for the year 2009-10 can be made available.
