Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether any unsuccessful attempts have been made by Russia to interfere in the UK's democratic processes in the last three years.
The Government has said previously that we have not seen evidence of successful foreign
interference in UK elections and we take any allegations of interference in UK democratic
processes by a foreign government extremely seriously. That remains the case. We know
that certain states routinely use disinformation and other means as a foreign policy tool,
and have seen evidence of this happening elsewhere. It should therefore not surprise us
that they might try to influence democratic processes in the UK.
