Communities Secretary

Britain: Our Values, Our Responsibilities

In an October 2006 speech, Kelly called for "a fundamental rebalancing of our relationship with Muslim organisations from now on":

Since taking up my post, I have actively sought to develop relationships with a wider network of Muslim organisations, including those representing young people and women.
In future, I am clear that our strategy of funding and engagement must shift significantly towards those organisations that are taking a proactive leadership role in tackling extremism and defending our shared values. It is only by defending our values that we will prevent extremists radicalising future generations of terrorists[2]

The move was seen as a snub to the Muslim Council of Britain.[3]

HSBC

After standing down at the 2010 election, Kelly joined HSBC's strategy unit.[4] She sat on the board of National Grid, which "own the high-voltage electricity transmission system in England and Wales and operate the system across Great Britain. [5]
