CFI Officer Christian Wakeford MP called on the Government to “crack down on terrorists and those who fuel hate, such as Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)”, during Home Office Questions in Parliament this week.
The Bury South MP underlined: “As we fight against the coronavirus, we must not forget about the other threats facing this country, including terrorists and the hateful ideologies that fuel them”.
He asked the Home Secretary: “Will my right hon. Friend update the House on what steps her Department is taking to crack down on terrorists and those who fuel hate, such as Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, so that they can no longer pose a threat to the public?”
In response, Home Secretary Rt. Hon. Priti Patel MP said that Mr Wakeford is “absolutely right to raise this concern”. She added: “We are, of course, fully committed to tackling terrorism in all forms, and hateful ideologies as well. That is part of our CONTEST strategy and we are constantly reviewing all actions in light of the changing world we are living in”.
