I will follow on from the Minister's reply. He mentioned that this provision would be subject to the DPP's processes but most public order offences are dealt with by a local superintendent who makes the decision.
Is every case going to go to the DPP then if there is a hate crime? No. It will be the superintendent who will decide rather than the DPP.
