Muslim Council of Britain
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether the Muslim Council of Britain is classified as extremist organisation.
Answered by Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government
The government does not comment on specific individuals or groups.
As announced in the Protecting What Matters publication on 9 March, we are currently updating and embedding the 2024 engagement principles. The engagement principles are underpinned by the Government’s definition of extremism. Responsibility for decisions and due diligence around who departments engage with sits with those departments and the appropriate policy areas. It is for individual government departments to decide to use these principles, or their own due diligence processes around engagement. If asked, we will advise and share information to help inform their decisions.
