question text	Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Statement by Baroness Williams of Trafford on extremism (HLWS40), with how many countries the UK will be raising specific evidence-based concerns regarding funding originating in those countries being supplied to Islamic organisations in the UK; and what action they will be seeking from the governments of those countries.

uin	HL824
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2017 answer text <p>The Government laid a Written Ministerial Statement in both Houses on Wednesday 12 July, which conveyed the main findings of the Government’s review into the funding for Islamist extremist activity in the UK. The single most important finding was that the most significant source of funding for Islamist extremism in the UK is small, private donations from UK-based individuals. Often these individuals do not appreciate the extremist credentials of those they are donating to. The Government’s response prioritises tackling the domestic sources of extremism but the Government is committed to tackling all sources, including from overseas. The Government will continue to work with its international partners to combat extremism and where necessary will raise issues of concern in our bilateral relationships. The Charity Commission will be introducing a requirement on charities to declare overseas sources of funding to increase transparency in this area.</p><p> </p><p>The Government’s Counter-Extremism Strategy sets out its commitment to tackling extremism in all its forms, including engaging internationally to support our efforts to defeat extremism in the UK. This includes countering the flow of extremism to the UK, whether money, people or ideology; building international partnerships with all those opposed to extremism; and disrupting extremists from entering the UK. The Government engages with a wide range of international partners on extremism issues, including through the United Nation’s Plan of Action to Prevent Violent Extremism and the United Nation’s Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 18/07/2017 11:33:02 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
