Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the comments of the Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation, Max Hill QC, published in the Independent newspaper on 19 August 2017, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of expanding the use of disruptive arrests, charges and sentences as part of the criminal justice response to terror suspects.

On 4 June 2017 the Prime Minister announced that the Government would review the UK’s counter-terrorism strategy to make sure the police and security services have all the powers and capabilities they need to keep our country safe. This review is ongoing.
