To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether applicants for student visas are subject to security screening in relation to a) extremist activity and b) support for proscribed organisations.
The UK operates robust security and suitability checks on all visa applications, including applications under the Student route. As part of this consideration of an application, information provided by the applicant may be checked against a range of government and law enforcement equities, where appropriate.
Engagement in extremist activity and support for proscribed organisations are both relevant considerations in the assessment of an applicant’s suitability.

The government is clear that terrorism, antisemitic abuse and criminal activity have no place on campuses.
Higher education providers are subject to the Prevent duty, which requires them to have due regard to preventing people from being drawn into terrorism. This includes identifying individuals vulnerable to radicalisation and ensuring appropriate risk assessment and mitigation measures are in place.
Universities work closely with partners, including the police and statutory agencies, where concerns arise about unlawful activity or terrorism-related risks. Encouraging or supporting terrorism, fundraising for terrorist purposes, or promoting proscribed organisations are serious criminal offences and will not be tolerated.
The government is strengthening oversight of compliance with the Prevent duty and taking broader action to tackle antisemitism and extremism. This includes updating guidance on external speakers and events, greater focus on disruptions work, strengthening whistleblowing protections, and increasing transparency around incidents of antisemitism and other forms of harassment on campus.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what her Department's definition is of Islamic extremism.
As set out in ‘Protecting What Matters’, we are embedding the 2024 definition of extremism, available at gov.uk, across Government to ensure a consistent understanding of extremism. Alongside this we will be publishing an annual ‘State of Extremism’ report which will arm frontline, public sector workers with the information they need to identify and confront extremism in the UK.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the effectiveness of de-radicalisation programmes.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the effectiveness of de-radicalisation programmes.
The Home Office monitors the effectiveness of the Prevent programme through data collected at each stage of the referral and support process for individuals susceptible to radicalisation. Official statistics on individuals referred to and supported through Prevent are published annually. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6903b863e2ebc0fb39a52048/individuals-referred-to-and-supported-through-the-prevent-programme-apr2024-mar2025-data-tables.ods. Prevent programmes also include the rehabilitation of convicted terrorist offenders through the Desistance and Disengagement Programme (DDP). DDP was independently evaluated in a report commissioned from RAND Europe in 2023. Out of a sample of 38 DDP cases during the evaluation period (April 2018 to March 2020), 39% were found to have made progress towards rejecting extremist beliefs, and 58% made positive changes relating to their attitude and/or motivation, including showing pro-social beliefs, improved resilience and demonstrating a motivation to change. More broadly an independent evaluation of Channel (Prevent’s multi-agency support programme) is currently being conducted. The evaluation will assess how effectively Channel reduces susceptibility to radicalisation, how interventions are delivered, and will identify areas for improvement. A final report is expected in late 2026. Finally, in April we appointed Tim Jacques as the Independent Prevent Commissioner to provide oversight, scrutiny, and recommendations to improve Prevent’s effectiveness. |

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the answer of 19 January 2026 to Question 103771 on Antisemitism, what steps his Department is taking to help tackle Islamism.
As stated previously, this Government takes extremism seriously and we are committed to ensuring we have the required tools and powers needed to address this issue. If an ideology is causing harm by radicalising others into hatred, violence and extremism we will take action to prevent this and to safeguard susceptible individuals.
In the publication of Protecting What Matters, we set out a bold new approach to countering extremism and hate crime, including antisemitism and anti-Muslim hostility. This focuses on disrupting extremist influence and strengthening Government’s ability to stop extremist abuse of institutions including charities and universities. We will publish an Annual State of Extremism Report setting out the current extremist threat in the UK and government action to tackle it.
Alongside this, we are taking wider steps to address the harms associated with extremism and the divisions it can create within communities. This includes providing record levels of funding to support protective security at mosques and Muslim community sites, and appointing a Special Representative on anti‑Muslim hostility, who will support engagement with communities and help drive a more coordinated response to hate, division and the conditions in which extremism can take hold.

The Government is committed to tackling those who spread views that promote violence and hatred against individuals and communities in our society, and that radicalise others into terrorism.
We remain vigilant to the risk of extremist activity across all parts of society, including in higher education settings where individuals may be particularly exposed to harmful narratives, and we continue to work closely with partners to understand and respond to emerging risks. This includes engagement with local Prevent and Department for Education stakeholders to identify events and speakers of concern and providing advice and assistance in disrupting these where appropriate.
