Question to the Cabinet Office:
What assessment the Government has made of the effectiveness of the Defending Democracy programme as part of its plans to bring forward legislative proposals on online harms.
The Defending Democracy programme coordinates work and expertise across government work to safeguard the integrity and security of our democratic processes.
Through the Online Harms legislative proposals, the programme is making good progress against two of its strategic objectives: to encourage respect for open, fair and safe democratic participation; and to promote fact-based discourse.
