To ask His Majesty's Government why Northern Ireland has been excluded from the Community Engagement Principles for countering extremism.
Answered on
9 April 2024
Engagement undertaken in Northern Ireland is exempt from the engagement principles to reflect the unique political and historical circumstances in that country. The engagement principles do not apply to the engagement undertaken by the devolved administrations themselves.
The UK Government is in regular contact with the administrations in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
