PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
METROPOLITAN POLICE'S COUNTER-TERRORIST SOCIAL MEDIA MONITORING UNIT (20 June 2017)

Motion Details

That this House considers the failure to fund properly the Metropolitan Police's counter-terrorist social media monitoring unit to have been a grave error; believes that a lack of resources endangers UK citizens because it increases the chance of terrorist recruitment and organisation going unnoticed; and calls on the Government to immediately increase the budget available to counter-terrorism forces in the UK.
