The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of proscribing Russia’s main political parties as terrorist organisations.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

While the UK Government keeps the list of proscribed organisations under review, we do not routinely comment on whether an organisation is or is not being considered for proscription.
