Muslim Brotherhood
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department considers the Muslim Brotherhood and its international offshoots to be extremist entities.
Answered by Dan Jarvis
The Government does not routinely comment on individual groups or cases and Home Office officials continually seek to build and refresh their knowledge of the threat from extremism, as the landscape is constantly evolving. This includes disrupting the activities of those who seek to radicalise others but operate – often intentionally – below legal thresholds.
While the Government keeps the list of proscribed organisations in the UK under review, we do not routinely comment on whether or not an organisation is under consideration for proscription.
