Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to investigate the claims by the leader of Reform UK of cyber-hacking by Russian hostile actors.

I refer the noble Baroness to the answer given by my right honourable friend the Minister, on 8 September 2026 in response to UIN 21221 in the House of Commons:

The Government does not routinely comment on specific security threats. Any National Cyber Security Centre assessments concerning particular individuals or organisations, and any reports it receives, are treated in confidence. The NCSC has published guidance to support political organisations in strengthening their cyber security, available at: https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/defending-democracy/political-organisations.
