Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will take steps to increase the transparency of the work of the Defending Democracy Taskforce.

The Defending Democracy Taskforce continues to drive forward a programme of work to address the full range of threats to our democracy.

I will, as Chair of the Taskforce, update Parliament in due course particularly on the work of the Taskforce to tackle harassment and intimidation.

I am also due to give oral evidence to the Joint Committee on National Security Strategy later this month.
