Answered by Dan Jarvis - Minister of State (Home Office)
The Taskforce has reflected on last year’s elections and is now taking forward a programme of work to ensure lessons are learned.
This includes work to tackle the unacceptable instances of harassment and intimidation of our elected representatives that we saw during the General Election.
This vital work is ongoing, and I will update the House in due course.
