This set out the actions that Government will take to create socially and economically stronger, more confident and integrated communities. These documents were published in English.</p><p>Assisting the public to understand the threat from extremism is the responsibility of the Home Office. The independent Commission for Countering Extremism published the findings from their call for evidence earlier this month, which was the first public consultation on extremism. The Commission’s full study into the threat we face from extremism and the current response, including advice on new policies to tackle it, will be published in the autumn in English and Welsh.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 24/07/2019 16:17:17 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak
