<p>Membership of a proscribed organisation is an offence under section 11 of the Terrorism
Act 2000, and Al Qa’ida and Daesh have been proscribed in the UK since March 2001
and June 2014 respectively.</p><p>The Government takes proscription offences seriously.
Investigations into the activities of proscribed organisations or individuals who
may be members of proscribed organisations are an operational matter for the police
and intelligence agencies. It would not be appropriate to publish data on intelligence
related matters.</p><p>The Government publishes quarterly national statistics on the
use of police powers under the Terrorism Act 2000 and subsequent relevant legislation
in Great Britain. This includes information on arrests, charges and convictions for
proscription offences. The most recent publication up to year ending June 2020, was
published on 17 September on GOV.UK: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/operation-of-police-powers-under-the-terrorism-act-2000-quarterly-update-to-june-2020"
