Hezbollah

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when he plans to review his policy on proscribing all parts of the Hezbollah organisation.

Answer

It is Government policy not to comment on whether an organisation is or is not under consideration for proscription. A decision to proscribe an organisation must be based on a belief that it is concerned in terrorism as defined in the Terrorism Act 2000, and it must be proportionate.
