Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will make an assessment of the effect of the work of (a) Cambridge Analytica, (b) Strategic Communications Laboratories and (c) Global Science Research on elections conducted in the UK.

Parliament is responsible for setting the rules in relation to campaigning, funding and spending at elections and referendums. It is for the Electoral Commission to regulate actively against these rules.

The Electoral Commission is an independent body and the detail of any investigations undertaken by the Electoral Commission is a matter for them.
