WORKING TOGETHER TO PREVENT TERRORISM WORKING GROUPS

Motion Text

That this House wishes to express its delight at the Government's decision to set up working groups in the wake of the 7th July bombings to devise a practical community-led response to terrorism; agrees that greater community consultation, promoting and developing engagement and partnership between Muslim communities and wider society, is key to combating extremism; notes that working group members came together from a wide variety of backgrounds, traditions and with diverse expertise; welcomes the proposals set out by these groups as they reported last year, but notes with great concern that few of these proposals have been implemented; and calls on the Government to act on this invaluable insight and implement the main recommendations as a matter of urgency.
