The subject to which the Honourable Lady refers is an operational matter for the intelligence services.

As such I am afraid I can neither confirm nor deny what figures the Home Office holds on this issue. However, I can confirm that intelligence agencies and their police colleagues are taking vigorous action against extremism with the full range of legal powers available to them.
