Lee Rowley
Minister of State (Minister for Housing)
The new counter-extremism centre of excellence will be housed within the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC).
DLUHC is working with the Home Office, as well as several other Government departments, to tackle extremism head-on. The new centre of excellence will act as a world-leading authority on best practice, data and research and provide leadership for departments’ operationalisation and implementation of the new extremism definition, cross-government standards and extremism-related due diligence process. It will also become home to new counter-extremism assessment and analytical functions and capabilities.
