Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what plans her Department has to conduct telephone surveys of British Muslims on views of extremism; how many such surveys her Department plans to conduct; when those surveys will commence; and how many people will be surveyed.

The Government is committed to tackling all forms of extremism. The Counter Extremism Strategy aims to protect and safeguard communities at risk from extremism of all types.

In that strategy we committed to be evidence based and to work closely with academics and universities through commissioning and part-funding research. Decisions on how best to do this will be made in due course.
