Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department plans to respond to the Commission for Countering Extremism report entitled Hateful Extremism and the Law, published February 2021.

The Government has carefully considered the recommendations from the previous Commissioner for Countering Extremism, and they have made a significant contribution to the Government’s thinking on the issue of tackling extremism.

The Commission has played and continues to play a key role in the Government’s approach to counter-extremism by providing expert advice and scrutiny in this space.
