<p>HM Government does not collect information on the funding of religious institutions
in the UK. If such institutions, in England and Wales, are registered charities with
the Charity Commission and have an annual income of over £25,000, their accounts are
made publically available on the charity’s entry on the Public Register of Charities,
which is accessible from www.charitycommission.gov.uk</p><p>In addition to the requirement
to file accounts, the Charity Commission, as the charity regulator in England and
Wales, can review and inspect the financial records of charities to ensure that their
trustees comply with their duty to account. The Prime Minister last year commissioned
a review into the funding of extremism in the UK. This will examine specifically the
nature, scale and origin of Islamist extremist activity in the UK including any overseas
sources.</p><p>In December last year, the Prime Minister commented on the conclusions
of the Muslim Brotherhood Review that was commissioned to improve the Government’s
understanding of the Group. The Government will keep under review the views that are
promoted and activities that are undertaken by Muslim Brotherhood associates in the
UK.</p>
