Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if the Government will make an assessment of the potential merits of bringing forward legislative proposals on foreign agents' registration.

This is a thorough process to assess whether additional powers are required to clamp down on the activities of hostile states which threaten the UK, both here and overseas.

As part of this, we are considering like-minded international partners’ legislation to see whether the UK would benefit from adopting something similar.

This work is ongoing.
