question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many United Kingdom nationals returning from fighting for Islamic State have been (1) charged with an offence, and (2) not charged with an offence; what charges the former have faced; and why charges have not been laid against the latter.
tabling member printed	Lord Blencathra
uin	HL18
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/06/2015 answer text <p>Anyone who participates in conflicts abroad maybe committing offences and could be prosecuted when they return to the UK. Section 5 of the Terrorism Act 2006 criminalises the preparation of terrorist acts, both in the UK and abroad. Whether an individual has committed an offence or not, will depend on the circumstances and nature of that individual's activity. A decision on whether to prosecute an individual will be made by the Crown Prosecution Service and police, based on the evidence available and whether it is in the public interest to pursue. The number of individuals currently under investigation for criminal acts is a matter for the police and as such, the Government cannot comment on current investigations. The number of individuals suspected of involvement in acts of terrorism or criminal matters, arrested and then formally charged with terrorism-related offences or other criminal offences is recorded and collated by the Home Office Quarterly Statistical Bulletin (last published 26 March 2015).</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 04/06/2015 15:02:48 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
