Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they are provided with all documents produced by counter terrorism police as advice to their partners about whether an individual constitutes a terrorist or domestic extremist; whether they are consulted prior to the publication of such advice to partners; and whether they can veto or edit the publication both in print or online.

Counter terrorism police produce assessments of risk. Police retain operational independence for such documents. The Home Office is not provided with all such documents.
