(BBC) The government has appointed former Conservative Attorney General Dominic Grieve to lead a review into creating a new definition of Islamophobia.
Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner launched a new working group tasked with understanding and defining hate crime targeted against Muslims.
Labour had promised a new definition, after the last Tory government rejected a cross-party proposal in 2019.
Critics warned the current definition is too broad and could curb free speech.
Grieve, who served as Tory MP from 1997 to 2019, said he hoped the review would “help support positive change in our country.”
