Terrorism
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to her Department's Prevent learning review, whether her Department plans to change to the definition Islamic terrorism to international terrorism.
Answered by Dan Jarvis
The Independent Review of Prevent recommended that the Government should keep the current terminology to describe Islamist and Extreme Right-Wing ideology to ensure language was accurate and accessible.
The Government has accepted this recommendation and will retain the current terminology. The UK’s counter-terrorism strategy, CONTEST, is kept under constant review to ensure our approach remains fit for purpose in response to emerging risks and challenges.
