Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether any members of Ukraine's Azov Battalion have attended National Action events in the UK since 2015.

The Government does not routinely comment on intelligence matters.

National Action was proscribed in 2016, making it a criminal offence to belong to or invite support for the organisation, including arranging a meeting in support of National Action. The penalty for proscription offences can be a maximum of 14 years in prison and/or an unlimited fine.

The proscription of National Action has significantly supported the police and Security Service to disrupt the group. This includes the prosecution of individuals for proscription offences, as well as wider terrorism and criminal offences.

The investigation and prosecution of proscription offences is a matter for the police and Crown Prosecution Service.
