Government refuses to disclose whether Prevent strategy will be redacted

Whitehall sources claim the Home Office is fighting with Michael Gove over whether Islamist extremists’ details should be removed

No 10 has refused to say whether its review of the Prevent counter-terrorism strategy will be redacted, amid reports it has been delayed by a row between Michael Gove and the Home Office over whether to reveal the names of suspected Islamist extremists.

The Prevent review was handed over to the Home Office by William Shawcross, a former head of the Charity Commission in the summer.
