answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2017 answer text <p>This Government has been clear there should be no safe space online for terrorists and their supporters to radicalise, recruit, incite, or inspire. In March 2017, the Home Secretary held a very positive meeting with industry to discuss online terrorist content. Subsequent to the roundtable, Google, Facebook, Twitter and Microsoft made a public commitment to look at options for establishing an industry-led forum focused on tackling terrorist and extremist content online.</p><p>This was formally announced by the companies on 26 June 2016. We continue to work closely with industry to come up with new, innovative ways for tackling terrorist use of the internet but, as the Prime Minister has made clear, we will also explore the possibility of creating legal requirements for communications service providers if they fail to take the necessary action to remove unacceptable content</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 12/07/2017 15:37:26 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2017 answer text <p>As set out in the Written Ministerial Statement at the time of the police settlement (15 December 2016), in 2017/18, the Government is providing £50m from the police settlement for Police Special Grant. This is an increase which reflects both an assessment of potential need across police forces, and the specific costs likely to be incurred preparing for the policing operation at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in 2018.</p><p> </p><p>By its nature, Special Grant deals with unusual and significant expenditures. Ministers receive a number of applications throughout the year, which are typically referred to Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary to review before a final decision. Given that a number of applications are being carefully considered, it is not possible to specify how much of the £50m remains available.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 12/07/2017 15:23:16 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd
