Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of whether any British nationals are currently associated with Daesh and its ideology; and what preparations are in place for the potential return of such individuals to the United Kingdom.

It is the long-standing policy of successive UK Governments not to comment routinely either on individual cases or intelligence and security matters.

The UK remains an active member of the Global Coalition against Daesh. We will continue to work with all our partners in pursuit of the enduring defeat of Daesh.

We will also not hesitate to take action to protect the UK border and our national security. This can include the exercise of immigration powers; the use of domestic and international watchlists; and working with law enforcement partners to disrupt the travel of individuals who are assessed as a threat.
