answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2019 answer text <p>The Government has been clear that tech companies need to act more quickly to remove all forms of terrorist content. There can be no safe spaces for terrorists to promote and share their extreme views.</p><p>Home Office analysis shows that approximately a third of all links to Daesh propaganda are disseminated within an hour of upload. As a result, we work closely with industry to encourage them to proactively remove terrorist content within one hour of upload, secure the prevention of re-uploads and ultimately prevent new content from being made available to users in the first place.</p><p>The Home Secretary visited the West Coast of the US in June and November 2018, where he continued to press the companies to increase the use of technology to automate the detection and removal of content where possible. At the G7 Toronto 2018 the Security Minister met with leaders of major CSP’s.</p><p>It is not the Government's practice to provide details of Ministerial meetings which are held as part of the process of policy development and delivery.</p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 27/03/2019 16:26:50 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/04/2019 answer text <p>The police routinely monitor the threats faced by all communities and ensure that there are appropriate protective security measures in place to keep people safe.</p><p>In addition, as places of worship are recognised as crowded places there is a range of protective security advice and guidance, which is regularly reviewed and revised, from the National Counter Terrorism Security Office (NaCTSO), a unit within Counter Terrorism Policing. This is developed and assured through engagement with policing experts, academia and the Centre for the Protection National Infrastructure (CPNI). It is internationally recognised and many organisations in the UK and overseas reference or replicate the advice for the protection of their crowded places.</p><p>There is a range of awareness raising and communications activities undertaken by Counter Terrorism Policing, such as ‘Run, Hide, Tell’ which has been created to outline the key steps for keeping safe in the event of a firearms or weapons attack.</p><p>We have also recently announced an increase in funding for the Places of Worship Protective Security Fund to £1.6 million for 2019-20. This is double the amount awarded last year. In addition, we have committed £5 million over three years for the provision of security training to places of worship. We will be consulting with communities and faith groups to develop and deliver this new scheme as well as review what more should be done.</p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 03/04/2019 17:37:56 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace
