Home Secretary James Cleverly stated that the funds, which will be spent over the next four years on measures such as CCTV cameras, alarms, and fences, would provide “reassurance and confidence to UK Muslims.”
Mr Cleverly stated, “Anti-Muslim hatred has no place in our society.”
“We will not allow events in the Middle East to be used to justify violence against British Muslims.
“The prime minister has expressed support for Muslims in the UK. We have committed to funding to provide reassurance and confidence to UK Muslims during this critical time.”
The investment is part of a package of help designed to reassure people that anti-Muslim abuse, threats, or harassment, as well as any type of hate crime, will not be tolerated.
