Hay'at Tahrir Al-sham: Proscribed Organisations
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what role her Department had in the decision to deproscribe Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham.
Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer
In the case of the de-proscription of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), I refer the Rt Hon Member to the written ministerial statement provided by the Security Minister on 22 October 2025, setting out the process leading up to that decision. De-proscription decisions are made by the Home Secretary following an extensive process of consideration and assessment of all available information, to which the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office contributes.
