Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what funds his Department has allocated to the Cordoba Foundation in each of the last 10 years.

My Department has not allocated any funding to the Cordoba Foundation in any of the last 10 years. However, I understand the organisation did receive some funding indirectly under the last Labour Government through their allocations to local authorities under the Prevent programme – a scheme which was widely criticised. We refocused the Prevent strategy in 2011 to ensure that we target resources better.
