Home Department written question – answered on 12th November 2010.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what recent reports she has received on (a) investigations undertaken by members of the US Congress and (b) materials held by the US Department of Justice on the attendance of Umar Farouk Abdulmuttalab at events addressed by Anwar al-Awlaki at North London Central Mosque since 2005; and what assessment her Department has made of the role of the North London Central Mosque in deradicalisation in the context of her Department's review of each strand of the Prevent strategy. [R]
There is an ongoing investigation into the case of Umar Farouk Abdulmuttalab and it would be inappropriate to comment.
The Prevent review, which will evaluate the programme's effectiveness and value for money, will include examination of the role of mosques and their governance in countering radicalisation and deterring people from supporting violent extremism. The review will be concluded by the end of this year.
