Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what steps she is taking to prevent online subscription to websites with Islamic extremist content.

This Government remains at the forefront of the fight against online terrorist and extremist material. The Police Counter Terrorism Internet Referral Unit (CTIRU) has secured the removal of over 290,000 pieces of terrorist-related material, including extremist propaganda, since February 2010. We are also working closely with industry to encourage companies to develop innovative solutions to tackle online radicalisation. Finally, we are seeking to tighten the law: my RHF the Home Secretary announced recently our aim of extending to fifteen years the maximum sentence for those who repeatedly view terrorist content online; and we are setting up a new Commission for Countering Extremism to identify whether more powers are needed.
