The Islamic Centre [of] England, which occupies a converted cinema in Maida Vale, West London, received two furlough payments of £109,476 in 2020 and £129,556 in 2021.

Think tank Policy Exchange has revealed the payments in a new report, which said that all four of the centre’s directors since 1994 had been named as representatives of Iran’s supreme leader in Britain.
