Funding cut for extremist groups in terrorism review

Muslim groups that refuse to renounce extremism will be cut off from government funding under revisions to counter terrorism policy.

It is one of several changes to the "Prevent" strategy which will be announced by the Home Secretary Theresa May.

Prevent was launched in 2007 to stop the growth of militant Islamism.

Changes are likely to include more money to prevent people becoming radicalised in prison and a call on universities to do more to tackle student extremism.
