Question

To ask the Prime Minister, with reference to his Oral statement of 1 September 2014, Official Report, column 34, what the evidential basis is for his statement that the Saudi Arabian government has changed its approach on radicalisation around the world; and whether he considers that such changes have included a change in policy on providing funding for Islamist extremist groups.

The UK and Saudi Arabia enjoy close cooperation in countering the shared terrorist threat against both our countries. The Saudi Arabian Government has condemned acts of terrorism and extremism around the world, and now has in place one of the most advanced de-radicalisation programmes anywhere.
