Written Question
Counter-terrorism: Kent
Friday 27th December 2024

Asked by: Lauren Edwards (Labour - Rochester and Strood)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what information her Department holds on the number of referrals made to the Prevent programme in relation to people from (a) Rochester and Strood constituency, (b) Medway and (c) Kent in each of the last five years.

Answered by Dan Jarvis - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Home Office does not publish data on the number of referrals made to the Prevent programme below regional levels because it could enable a threat picture to be built which could be used for terrorist purposes.

The number of referrals made to the Prevent programme in the South-East region, in which the areas the Hon Member has asked about are contained, is provided in the table below.
