To ask Her Majesty’s Government what impact the Home Office assesses the United Kingdom’s foreign policy to have on levels of violent extremism within the United Kingdom. [HL5121]

I recognise that individual reactions to UK foreign policies, such as military involvement overseas, can be a factor in radicalisation and that violent extremists exploit this when recruiting others to their cause. But we also know that radicalisation occurs for a wide range of complex and personal reasons. The aim of the Government will continue to be to prevent radicalisation at home and abroad.
