Written question asked by Caroline Flint (Labour) on Monday, 20 May 2019, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 22 May 2019. It was answered by Ben Wallace (Conservative) on Wednesday, 29 May 2019 on behalf of the Home Office.
Counter-terrorism: Radicalism
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that the review of the Prevent Strategy addresses the growing threat of far-right extremism.
- Answer
-
Prevent aims to stop vulnerable people from being drawn into terrorism and does not target a specific faith or ethnic group it deals with all forms of terrorism. Almost half of those people who receive Channel support are initially referred for concerns related to right-wing extremism. The independent review of the Prevent programme, which was announced on 22 January 2019, will therefore also deal with all forms of terrorism.
