It's hoped Hate Crime Bill will be brought in during this administration
Giving courts aggravated sentencing powers would help reduce incidents of hate crimes, according to the home affairs minister.
The Hate Crime Bill is one of the new laws the current administration wants to bring in before the 2026 General Election.
It's also hoped to ensure victims can report incidents with confidence.
Jane Poole-Wilson says the legislation needs to be carefully crafted:
£150,000 spent supporting Ukrainians
273 approvals were issued for people fleeing war
Fire crews respond to structure fire in Braddan
Residents advised to test smoke and fire detections systems regularly
