Conclusion
We have not seen evidence that the Home Office prioritises counter- extremism efforts beyond those which fall within the existing counter- terrorism security infrastructure. (Conclusion, Paragraph 100)
Government Response Summary
The government explicitly states that its efforts to counter extremism are distinct from existing counter-terrorism systems. It affirms that the Home Office leads on Counter-Extremism policy through a dedicated team that coordinates with the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, thereby disagreeing with the committee's finding.
