Question to the Home Office:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their definition of a terrorist group.
This question was answered on 22nd September 2014
The UK definition of terrorism is set out in section one of the Terrorism Act 2000.
Any decision by the Secretary of State to proscribe an organisation under Section three of the Terrorism Act 2000 must be based on a belief that it is concerned in terrorism as defined in the Act, and it must be proportionate. Such decisions are subject to approval by Parliament.
