To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, Pursuant to the answer of 5 September 2024 to Question 2635 on Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: Public Expenditure, whether she has discontinued the New definition of extremism programme announced in March 2024; and what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the £5 million saving on government (a) policy on counter-extremism and integration and (b) due diligence.

I refer the hon Member to the answer given to Question UIN HL965 on 20 September 2024. This Government takes the threat of extremism very seriously and we will continue to work with partners to tackle extremism in all its forms. Following the conclusion of the rapid review ordered by the Home Secretary, we will be setting out our strategic approach, which will ensure that we have the strongest possible response.
