Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what progress has been made to further detail and quantify the role, motivations and aims of the Muslim Brotherhood, since the publication of the Sir Jenkins Review.
In December 2015, the Government laid the main findings of an internal review commissioned to improve understanding of the Muslim Brotherhood before both Houses. The review was written by Sir John Jenkins of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Sir Charles Farr of the Home Office, and involved wide consultation, including with Muslim Brotherhood representatives in the UK and overseas, and substantial research. We stand by the main findings of the review, but continue to keep the Muslim Brotherhood and its activities under review, working across the range of relevant government departments and drawing on our network of posts in the region.
