Answer
The Home Secretary has not provided guidance to police forces on their use of the Government’s non-statutory definition of anti-Muslim hostility. The definition is intended to support understanding and consistency in identifying hostility directed at Muslims or those perceived to be Muslim, and does not change the law.
