The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has coincided with an increase in activity and prominence amongst far-right, far-left and other political groups.

In this call for evidence, Lord Walney will examine the points at which the activities of such groups can cross into criminality and disruption to people’s lives, and draw lessons for the UK from the action taken by international partners.

Following the conclusion of Lord Walney’s review, his findings and recommendations will be presented to the Prime Minister and to the Home Secretary for publication subject to their approval.
