Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment he has made of the effect on public safety of the decision to release Abu Bakar Bashir from prison.

It is government practice not to comment on individual threat assessments. We are committed to working with our international partners, including the Indonesian Government, to tackle the threat from terrorism. HMG’s assessment of the risks to British nationals traveling overseas including the threat from terrorism is reflected in our Foreign Office Travel Advice.
