Written Question
Disinformation
Thursday 2nd April 2026

Asked by: Baroness Teather (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask His Majesty's Government, in regard to the report Protecting What Matters, published on 9 March, whether they will publish the scope of the evidence review being undertaken by the Chief Scientific Adviser on misinformation; and how organisations can make relevant contributions to that review.

Answered by Lord Vallance of Balham - Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)

The Government Office for Science commissioned an evidence review by an external academic group to synthesise the latest published literature on misinformation. It is a pre-registered study looking at the existing published evidence and is not therefore seeking direct contributions from organisations. The review will be published in due course. The findings from this desktop exercise will inform government's thinking on identifying and tackling harmful misinformation.
