Counter-terrorism
Asked by: Julian Lewis (Conservative - New Forest East) Friday 14th March 2025 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of establishing a single independent inquiry into the (a) effectiveness of the Prevent programme and (b) adequacy of the handling of the cases involving (i) Axel Rudakubana and (ii) Ali Harbi Ali. Answered by Dan Jarvis - Minister of State (Home Office) Significant improvements have been made to Prevent over the last few years and a further package of work to strengthen Prevent was announced by the Home Secretary in December 2024. New reforms include the creation for the first time of an independent Prevent Commissioner role. This dedicated permanent oversight function will provide continuous independent scrutiny of Prevent legislation, policy and delivery to maximise Prevent’s effectiveness. To begin this work swiftly, Lord David Anderson KC was announced as the interim Commissioner on 21 January. In relation to the cases raised by the Rt Hon member, we have published the Prevent Learning Reviews into each case and tasked Lord Anderson with conducting a rapid review of both cases. Lord Anderson will identify whether there is further learning regarding the specific handling of each case; examine improvements made to Prevent since each case and determine whether they have sufficiently strengthened the Prevent system; and identify any remaining gaps or shortcomings that require further improvement. This review will be published and swift action will be taken to implement the findings. The Home Secretary has already announced a public inquiry into the Southport attack. We are moving swiftly to set up the inquiry and we expect to announce further details later this month, after consultation with families and others most affected. |
Counter-terrorism
Asked by: Tom Morrison (Liberal Democrat - Cheadle) Monday 3rd March 2025 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department plans to take to review the strategy for Prevent in the context of (a) the Southport attacks and (b) other recent incidents. Answered by Dan Jarvis - Minister of State (Home Office) The Home Secretary announced the creation of a new Independent Prevent Commissioner role in a statement to the House on 17 December 2024. The Commissioner role will help ensure Prevent is working effectively by reviewing its legislation, policies and operations and making sure it is implemented as intended. It will also oversee and assure implementation of recommendations from reports, reviews, coronial processes, and Prevent Learning Reviews. Lord David Anderson KC was announced as the interim Commissioner on 21 January, to allow work to begin swiftly. Lord Anderson has been asked to conduct a rapid review of the perpetrators’ Prevent history in the case of the Southport murders and the murder of Sir David Amess. He will examine improvements made to Prevent since 2021 and determine whether they have sufficiently strengthened the Prevent system, and identify any remaining gaps or shortcomings that require further improvement and assure action to address them. An open competition to recruit the permanent Independent Prevent Commissioner was launched on 14 February. |

No Department None 4. Impact of funding reductions for culture and sport: Evidence session with the Royal Commission on Ancient and Historic Monuments of Wales (5) <p>I just struggle, from a commonsense point of view, to understand that there are no savings across those organisations. Because I remember an inquiry by this committee eight years ago, when Ken Skates, as Cabinet Secretary, looked for back-office functions, and we heard the same story then. I remember David Anderson coming here, complaining about the awful procedures they'd had to go through and how it wasn't possible to find any savings. And that is a very hard argument to sustain.</p> |
Wed 05 Jul 2023
No Department None 3. National contemporary art gallery: evidence session 2 - interest groups <p>Look, I can understand why you like a distributed model. That's fine. And I think David Anderson, when he was here as director general of the national museum, had some very interesting things to say about the national museum sharing its resources, both in terms of collections and expertise, with regional and local museums, and I think that's a good thing, and I think it should happen more often, and it should happen in a structured and strategic way. But that answers a different question to the one that is being asked here, which is access to our national collections. And I've got no issue at all with saying the history of Tredegar—we’re celebrating the national health service today—is also the history of Wales. Of course it is. But it's not the same as the national collection, and I think we need to be careful that we don't fool ourselves into thinking that it is. So, I think we're talking here about something that is fundamentally different.</p> |
