The UK Government continually assesses potential threats in the UK, and takes the protection of individuals' rights, freedoms, and safety in the UK very seriously. To this end, any foreign country operating on UK soil must abide by UK law. We will not tolerate interference in UK communities from any foreign country. As you would expect, Home Office officials work closely with the FCDO and The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities as well as other government departments in ensuring that the UK is a safe and welcoming place for those who choose to settle here.
