Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what assessment he has made of the potential implications for his policies of allegations of electoral interference against BlackCore in the Scottish Parliament elections; and whether his Department has any evidence of potential election interference in other UK elections by BlackCore.

The Government does not routinely comment on ongoing security matters. However, we take any reporting of alleged foreign-linked interference in our elections very seriously and are absolutely committed to safeguarding the UK's democratic processes.
