British Prime Minister David Cameron is set to make terror crackdown a central focus of his next Parliament session, it emerged today.
The measures will be unveiled by Queen Elizabeth II in her customary Queen's Speech, which marks the official state opening of Parliament every year in mid-May.
It reflects the order of business for the year ahead, prepared by the UK government and read out by the monarch from a throne in the House of Lords.
The measures are part of the UK government's counter- extremism strategy and the new 'Extremism Bill' willinclude powers to ban organisations, close down premises and gag individuals who are perceived as extremist.
Cameron will seek to balance the action with a promise of extra help to bring isolated British Muslims into the mainstream, according to British media reports.
The drive will begin with the launch of an independent review of how Sharia courts are operating in Britain.
UK Home Secretary Theresa May had indicated last December that she plans to investigate claims of a "parallel" justice system and is now believed to have finalised the terms of reference to be announced later this month.
Around 850 people with British links are believed to have travelled to take part in the Syria conflict led by Islamic State (ISIS) terrorists.
The UK government had promised a new legislation to tackle Islamist extremism in the country last year.
The Extremism Bill will also extend vetting rules so that employers will be told of known extremists to prevent them from working with children and other vulnerable groups or from carrying out roles in "sensitive areas".
There are also plans to extend powers to suspend broadcasts deemed to include "unacceptable extremist material".
A Downing Street spokesperson said, "We are not going to speculate about the content of the Queen's speech in advance.
