Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what her Department's definition is of Islamic extremism.

As set out in ‘Protecting What Matters’, we are embedding the 2024 definition of extremism, available at gov.uk, across Government to ensure a consistent understanding of extremism. Alongside this we will be publishing an annual ‘State of Extremism’ report which will arm frontline, public sector workers with the information they need to identify and confront extremism in the UK.

The counter-terrorism strategy, CONTEST, published in 2023 sets out the Government’s understanding of Islamist terrorism.
