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.

The Police’s National Domestic Extremism and Disorder Intelligence Unit (NDEDIU) has a role in monitoring and gathering intelligence on groups where they pose a criminal threat from domestic extremism or public disorder. If any illegal activities are taking place, the police will take the necessary action. The Governments Countering Extremism Strategy focuses on all forms of extremism, not least the hate inspired and racially motivated nature of far right and Neo-Nazi extremists.

As yet, no specific assessment of the threat from Britain First has been carried out.
