Terrorism
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment she has been made of the current terrorist threat level within the UK.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
The threat to the UK from all forms of terrorism is currently assessed as SEVERE, meaning an attack is highly likely.
The UK National Threat Level is set independently of Government by the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC), who take into account a wide range of intelligence, to ensure it accurately reflects the threat of a terrorist attack in the UK.
The government continue to work closely with the police and intelligence agencies to monitor and respond to the full range of terrorist threats facing the UK.
