uin	204223
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/08/2014 answer text <p>Prevent aims to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism. The revised Prevent strategy published in June 2011 has three key objectives. These are to: <br>• respond to the ideological challenge of terrorism and the threat we face from <br>those who promote it;<br>• prevent people from being drawn into terrorism and ensure that they are given <br>appropriate advice and support; and <br>• work with sectors and institutions where there are risks of radicalisation <br>which we need to address.<br>The delivery of Prevent requires strong partnerships with a range of local groups in the community, including British Muslims amongst others. <br>The Prevent strategy we inherited from the last Government was flawed. It confused the delivery of Government policy to promote integration with Government policy to prevent terrorism, which was a source of mistrust. That is why we refocused the Prevent strategy in 2011, to separate Prevent from broader integration work. <br><br>Local Prevent co-ordinators across the country work with local services, partners such as the police, Charity Commission and members of local faith communities, to understand local risks and needs, and deliver targeted projects and outreach work. We fund 30 Prevent priority areas to work on the frontline and with those vulnerable to extremism, including funding projects tailored to local needs. Prevent co-ordinators provide regular feedback to the Home Office, which helps shape the future development and implementation of the Prevent strategy. <br><br>Preventing terrorism means challenging extremist (and non-violent) ideas that are also part of a terrorist ideology. The Prevent strategy focuses on all forms of terrorism, but is clear that the most serious risk to our national security comes from Al Qa’ida, its affiliates and like-minded organisations. For this reason, the report of the Prime Minister’s Extremism Task Force (ETF), published last December, set out a definition of Islamist extremism. It noted that this ideology should not be confused with traditional religious practice. It is based on a distorted interpretation of Islam, which betrays Islam’s peaceful principles and also includes the uncompromising belief that people cannot be Muslim and British, and insists that those who do not agree with them are not true Muslims.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 06/08/2014 10:37:55 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire previous answer version 9748 answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

tabling member printed	Paul Flynn
uin	204142
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/07/2014 answer text <p /> <p>The Department’s policy on whether to retain or destroy a file is to follow the cross-governmental guidance provided by The National Archives (TNA) where the length of retention is allocated based on legal or business requirements and historical importance. The result is that files are kept for different lengths of time depending on their content. <br><br>Those files where another government department is the policy lead or which contain minimal or duplicated content are kept for the shortest period before destruction. This period could be up to 10 years. Those which contain papers relating to issues such as legislation, major policies or notable events may be kept for up to 25 years with some files being transferred to TNA following a review of their importance in line with policy and their value for future historical research. These arrangements have been in place since 1982, with the most recent review of procedures having taken place in 2010.</p><p /> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 22/07/2014 17:02:33 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley
