Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent progress the Defending Democracy Taskforce has made.

  • The Taskforce has undertaken a comprehensive review of last year’s elections and is now driving forward a programme of work to ensure the UK’s democracy is strengthened and protected against a multitude of threats.
  • This includes work to tackle the unacceptable instances of harassment and intimidation of elected representatives that we saw during the General Election.
