Evidence on PREVENT
Monday 21 September 2009

“Community development and cohesion policies ought to apply to all communities fairly and equitably based on need”....

notes MCB’s Memorandum of Evidence to the Communities and Local Government Committee on Preventing Violent Terrorism (PVE) submitted on 17th September 2009.

The five-page submission stated that the MCB echoed “the widely held view that the ‘Prevent’ policy, the subsequent strategic response adopted by the Government, has not minimised extremism but has instead proved to be counter-productive. It has flawed analytical underpinnings...”

The memorandum draws on views expressed at a national community consultation meeting on Prevent/Contest 2 convened by the MCB in Birmingham Central Mosque in March 2009.
