Prisons: Radicalism and Terrorism

Asked by Nick TimothyConservativeMinistry of JusticeTabled Answered 15 June 2026UIN 8369

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many seizures have been made from prisons of material that promotes or supports acts of terrorism, extremism or radicalisation within the past year.

Answered by Jake Richards

Material that promotes or supports acts of terrorism, extremism or radicalisation is banned, in accordance with the Prison Public Protection Policy Framework.

Records of individual seizures are not held centrally, and the information could not be provided without incurring disproportionate cost.
