Theresa May to outline anti-extremism plans Theresa May to outline anti-extremism plans
(about 7 hours later)
Home Secretary Theresa May is to set out measures to tackle extremism and radicalism, following the findings of a taskforce set up by the government after the killing of soldier Lee Rigby. Home Secretary Theresa May is due to set out measures to tackle extremism after recommendations from a taskforce set up by the prime minister.
Among the recommendations are powers to ban groups that preach hatred. The cabinet-level group was set up after the death of Fusilier Lee Rigby.
The taskforce also suggests those who spread extremist views should be dealt with in the same way as people who commit anti-social behaviour. Its recommendations include a consultation on legal powers to ban groups that preach hatred.
And it says there could be help for areas with "integration challenges". There is also a suggestion that people who attempt to spread extremist views should be treated like those who indulge in anti-social behaviour.
Prime Minister David Cameron set up the cabinet-level Extremism Task Force in June, following the killing of Fusilier Rigby in Woolwich, south-east London, in May. Public consultation
Its recommendations include: The taskforce has met six times since June to examine ways to challenge the dissemination of extremist views in schools, colleges, charities, Islamic centres and prisons.
Senior members of the cabinet, including the deputy prime minister, home secretary and education secretary, have been actively involved, says BBC political correspondent Iain Watson.
Following the release of the taskforce's final report on Wednesday there will be a public consultation on some of its recommendations.
These include whether the Home Secretary should have new powers to ban groups which preach hatred - if that is what the police advise.
And the government will consult on whether people who attempt to spread extremist views should be banned from getting in touch with those who they are seeking to radicalise and whether they should be prevented from entering certain premises such as schools or colleges.
Prime Minister David Cameron has said the measures are not aimed simply at violent extremists but those who seek to radicalise others.
He added that 'extremism is not something we should be afraid to address for fear of cultural sensitivities.'
'Wake-up call'
Mr Cameron set up the taskforce in June following the killing of Fusilier Rigby in Woolwich, south-east London, in May.
Its recommendations also include:

He added: "I have been absolutely clear that this is not something we should be afraid to address for fear of cultural sensitivities. We have already put in place some of the toughest terrorism prevention controls in the democratic world, but we must work harder to defeat the radical views which lead some people to embrace violence."
