Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether his Department has recently conducted a risk assessment of its own capabilities to support a snap election.

The Cabinet Office regularly reviews its capabilities to support national elections. The Cabinet Office is fully prepared to undertake all of the necessary activity that is required of it and to work with the Electoral Commission and other organisations which participate in ensuring effective elections should an early general election be called.
