Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment the Government has made of whether Hezbollah is a unified organisation under a single leadership.

The UK proscription regime distinguishes between the political and military wings of Hizballah. The UK proscribed Hizballah’s External Security Organisation in March 2001 and in 2008 the proscription was extended to Hizballah’s military apparatus.
