The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the risk of foreign terror cells operating in the UK.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

As a matter of long-standing policy, we do not comment on the detail of security and intelligence matters.

The UK’s counter-terrorism strategy CONTEST provides a comprehensive framework for tackling all forms of terrorism and is kept under constant review to ensure our approach remains fit for purpose.
