Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will publish the list of UK-based Islamist extremist groups identified in the Department's internal review into the funding of Islamist extremist activity in the UK.
The Government laid a Written Ministerial Statement in Parliament on Wednesday 12 July 2017, which conveyed the main findings of the review into the funding for Islamist extremist activity in the UK. The review has improved the Government’s understanding of the nature, scale and sources of funding for Islamist extremism in the UK.
The review’s report is classified because of the volume of personal information it contains and for national security reasons. The Written Ministerial Statement is a comprehensive and representative reflection of the review’s findings. The Government has no plans to comment further on the review’s findings and it will not provide a running commentary on the groups, individuals or sources it considers to be of extremism concern. The Government’s priority is making the best use of the tools available to disrupt extremist activity in the UK.
