    Theresa May lists the steps the government is taking to prevent radicalisation of Muslims in Britain - including in universities and prisons, and online.

  2. Religion of peacepublished at 12:00 British Summer Time 30 September 2014

    Theresa May stresses that it is also vital to "defeat the ideology" behind the terrorist threat, which "has nothing to do with Islam itself". She says Islam is a religion of peace, so "let us stand side by side with the British Muslims who are coming together and saying 'Not in my name'". Another strong round of applause from party activists.

  4. Surveillancepublished at 11:58 British Summer Time 30 September 2014

    Theresa May promises greater powers for police to access internet communications data, under a future Conservative government. She says such powers have been vital in tackling terrorism and organised crime. In an attack on the Lib Dems, Mrs May says it was "outrageous" for the party to oppose tougher surveillance laws. The Conservatives would ensure there are the sufficient legal powers and technical capabilities to protect the public.

    Theresa May says a Counter-Terrorism Bill will be introduced to Parliament in November which will allow the police to seize passports at the border to prevent travel and investigate suspects. She say 103 people have been arrested for terrorism offences in Syria, with 24 of those charged and five prosecuted. A new criminal offence of preparing and training for terrorism overseas will also be introduced, under government plans.

  12. Passportspublished at 11:49 British Summer Time 30 September 2014

    The home secretary says British nationals with dual nationality who go abroad to fight in jihadist wars can have their passports revoked. She says she also has powers to keep naturalised citizens out of the country. But Mrs May stresses that under international law no country can make its citizens stateless, so young Britons have to be discouraged from travelling to Syria and Iraq in the first place. She says she is working with other EU countries to disrupt and prevent travel to the region. She says she has removed passports from 25 people who planned to travel to Syria and pledges, to applause: "I will go on using that power."

IS could acquire chemical, biological or nuclear weapons, she warns. "This is not somebody' else's battle," she adds, and insists the UK must act to "destroy" IS.

    Theresa May cites the beheadings of hostages by Islamic State militants. Addressing the organisation's name she says it is "not Islamic" and "not a state". She says IS is causing "death and destruction" in the Middle East region, and has also made clear its desire to attack Britain, America and the West.
