The Scottish Government is to provide Scotland’s police forces with an additional £3.8 million over the next two years to combat terrorism and protect our communities.

SNP Home Affairs spokesperson, Pete Wishart MP, has welcomed comments by the Director-General of the Office for Security and Counter Terrorism praising Scotland’s community cohesion and ability to prevent young people becoming radicalised and joining terror groups.

The UK government is set to compromise to avoid defeat over plans to extend pre-charge detention for terror suspects from 28 days to 42 days, reports suggest.
