Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government which department has overall responsibility for deradicalisation programmes in prisons.

Deradicalisation work in prisons forms part of the Government’s Prevent strategy, which is the responsibility of the Home Office. The delivery of this work in England and Wales is the responsibility of the Ministry of Justice, through the National Offender Management Service. In Scotland, responsibility for delivery lies with the Scottish Government, through the Scottish Prison Service.
