Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many referrals her Department's counter-terrorism referral units have received from internet companies in each of the last five years.
This question was answered on 2nd December 2014
The Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Internet Referral Unit refers to internet companies instances of content that is in breach of the Terrorism Act 2000 and 2006. They also receive referrals of content from the public as well
as other partners. It has not received any referrals from internet companies. The Home Department does not have any counter terrorism referral units so no referrals have been received.
