The controversial organisation provoked a public outcry last year after it defended the actions of ISIS executioner Mohammed Emwazi, better known as Jihadi John.

Cage blamed the security services for Emwazi’s actions, while then director Asim Qureshi called the knife-wielding terrorist a “beautiful, gentle young man”.

Mr Quereshi is no longer the director of CAGE.

Home Secretary Amber Rudd was forced to backtrack last week when she announced the Government may ask firms “to be clear” about the number of overseas workers on their books in a bid to encourage them to train up and recruit more UK staff.

She then defended the idea, saying it already happens in the US, and blasted claims she was “racist”.

But in a dramatic U-turn on Sunday, Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon “absolutely” ruled out the idea that the information would ever be released.
