Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to reduce radicalisation of British nationals in the UK.

Protecting those who are vulnerable and at risk of radicalisation is a job for all of us. This is the purpose of the Prevent programme. We have delivered over 180 community-based Prevent projects since 2011. In 2014 we supported over 70 community Prevent projects which involved almost 40,000 people. Our work with social media providers has disrupted online ISIL propaganda, and we have excluded more preachers of hate from the UK than any previous government. We work with hundreds of mosques, faith groups and community organisations. The new Prevent duty that came into force on 1 July will make sure key bodies across the country play their part and work in partnership to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism.
