PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Radicalism (25 March 2021)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she has considered commissioning a new review into the activities of (a) the Muslim Brotherhood and (b) extremist Islamist organisations in the UK; and if she will make a statement.

Asked by:
Sir John Hayes (Conservative)

Answer

The Government keeps under review the activities of those associated with the Muslim Brotherhood in the UK in accordance with the five commitments included in the former Prime Minister’s statement to Parliament.

The Government continues to assess the Muslim Brotherhood’s activities when appropriate, this is to ensure our position is based on the latest information available. We will consider action against the review’s commitments if and where legal thresholds are met.

We will not tolerate any individuals or groups who spread hate by demonising those of other faiths or ethnicities or who deliberately raise community fears and tensions by bringing disorder and violence to our towns and cities.
