asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they encourage diplomatic and parliamentary contacts and dialogue with non-violent Islamic political parties and groups throughout the Middle East and North Africa. [HL1045]

British officials engage with a variety of non-violent Islamic parties and groups across the Middle East and North Africa. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office makes the Government's view on individual Islamic parties and groups clear to parliamentarians, but it is up to individual parliamentarians to decide with whom they have contact.
