The Government is determined to cut off the funding which fuels the evils of extremism in the UK. In November 2015, the Government commissioned a review into the funding of Islamist extremist activity in the UK, including any overseas sources. The review reported to the Home Secretary and Prime Minister in 2016 and it has improved the Government’s understanding of the nature, scale and sources of funding for Islamist extremism in the UK.

The Government has updated Parliament on the review’s main findings on Wednesday 12 July 2017.
