Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, whether representatives of the department and its predecessor bodies have met (a) Stop Funding Hate, (b) Hacked Off and (c) Center for Countering Digital Hate since July 2024.

Ministers and officials from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport regularly engage with stakeholders on a range of policy matters. Details of ministerial meetings are published on a quarterly basis on Gov.uk.

DCMS also engages with a range of civil society organisations in developing online harms policy, including where it relates to public safety. As part of this, the Centre for Countering Digital Hate has participated in official-level roundtables with the department in 2024 and 2026.

The department has not received representations from Amnesty International on either regulation of the press or legislative action to impose limitations but is aware of the published statement from its networks.
