Home Office Removal Targets

"Is the Home Secretary, like her predecessor, the current Prime Minister, “sick and tired” of Ministers who blame others when something goes wrong? Surely, if the Home Secretary takes full responsibility for this serious issue, she should do the honourable thing and resign...."

Police Funding

"West Yorkshire police have in excess of 1,000 fewer officers now than in 2010, which is obviously having an impact on response times—if people are responded to at all. Does the hon. Gentleman agree that it is difficult for the Conservatives to call themselves the party of law and order …..."

Written Question
Britain First
Monday 19th February 2018

Asked by: Paula Sherriff (Labour - Dewsbury)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the threat level of the group Britain First; and if she will make a statement.

Answered by Ben Wallace

We have been clear that Britain First is an extremist organisation which seeks to divide communities through its use of hateful narratives which spread lies and stoke tensions. Where a group is viewed as posing a terrorist risk then we will take action to prosecute them. This is done on a case by case basis.

Immigration White Paper
