Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps he is taking to tackle extremist ideology and to reduce its appeal worldwide.

There is an urgent need to tackle poisonous, extremist ideology and propaganda. We are working closely with our international partners to address extremist material online, mobilise civil society and religious leaders to challenge extremism in all its forms, and identify more effective ways of countering ISIL’s and other extremists’ messaging.
