uin	HL14864
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/04/2019 answer text <p>The Home Secretary has been clear: the far right has absolutely no place in Britain. The British people overwhelmingly reject the prejudiced rhetoric of the far right, which is the antithesis of the values that this country represents: decency, tolerance and respect.</p><p>Through CONTEST and the Counter-Extremism Strategy, we’re dealing with the threat of right-wing terrorism and the wider harms caused by the far right, including community tensions, hate crime and public order issues. This is about keeping our communities safe and secure. We have also been discussing the risk posed by right wing terrorism with our international partners.</p><p>The Government proscribed National Action as a terrorist organisation in December 2016. We’ve also proscribed Scottish Dawn and NS131 as aliases of National Action.</p><p>“Terrorism” is defined in Section 1 of the Terrorism Act 2000. Our counter terrorism strategy, CONTEST, works to reduce the risk of all forms of terrorism, regardless of ideology.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 08/04/2019 16:34:24 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

tabling member printed	Lord Alton of Liverpool
uin	HL14768
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/04/2019 answer text <p>There are a range of tough measures to deal with people who pose a serious threat to the UK. As of June 2018, there had been around 40 convictions of individuals who had been prosecuted following their return from Syria, for a range of offences connected to their activities overseas or subsequent counter-terrorism investigations.</p><p>This number includes a ten year custodial sentence for Mohammed Abdullah, a British national convicted in December 2017 of IS membership, after leaked documents from a defector revealed his role as a “specialist sniper”, and the minimum of 40 years for Khalid Ali who was sentenced in 2018 for planning a terrorist attack in Westminster.</p><p>The majority of those who have returned did so in the earlier stages of the conflict and have been investigated. A significant proportion of these individuals are assessed as no longer being of national security concern.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 08/04/2019 15:19:52 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the use of public spaces protection orders and other anti-social behaviour measures to prevent homeless people from sleeping in public open spaces, or to fine and criminalise them; and whether they consider the use of those measures appropriate.
tabling member printed	Lord Greaves
uin	HL14776
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/04/2019 answer text <p>The Government is committed to reducing homelessness and rough sleeping. No one should ever have to sleep rough. That is why last summer we published the cross-government Rough Sleeping Strategy. This sets out an ambitious £100 million package to help people who sleep rough now, but also puts in place the structures that will end rough sleeping once and for all. The Government has now committed over £1.2 billion to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping over the spending review period.</p><p><br>Public Spaces Protection Orders and other anti-social behaviour measures should be used proportionately to tackle anti-social behaviour, and not to target specific groups such as homeless people. We refreshed the statutory guidance for frontline professionals on use of the powers in the Anti-social Behaviour Act 2014 in December 2017 to make absolutely clear that these orders should not be used to target people based solely on the fact that they are homeless or sleeping in public open spaces.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 08/04/2019 15:25:50 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
