Hilary Benn – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Communities and Local Government

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Hilary Benn on 2014-06-10.

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what research his Department has (a) commissioned and (b) published since May 2010 on citizenship and public attitudes towards extremism.

Stephen Williams

My Department has not commissioned any such research since 2010.

We have not published any such work other than the legacy Citizenship Survey which was discontinued in 2011, as it represented poor value for money for its £4 million a year cost.

Instead, we have focused on front line support for integration projects. A summary of our integration work can be found online at:
