(BBC) More than half of Conservative members questioned for a new poll believe Islam is a threat to British life.
YouGov was commissioned by Channel 4’s Dispatches programme to carry out a survey among the members who will decide whether Jeremy Hunt or Boris Johnson becomes the next Tory leader.
Of the 892 members questioned, 56% said Islam threatened British values.
The party’s chairman Brandon Lewis said the poll was “hardly representative” and questioned the methodology used.
In a series of tweets, he suggested there was a “danger” in relying on the responses of fewer than 900 people when the party membership was about 180,000.
