Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many suspects of interest in relation to extremism and radical views there have been in each police force area in England and Wales in each year since 2010.
This question was answered on 6th September 2017
The Home Office does not hold this information.
The police in England and Wales do not judge ‘extremism’ to be either a criminal or civil offence. As a consequence they do not collect or store the data within the parameters requested.
New criminal offences may be considered by the Counter Extremism Commission.
