Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, if he will have discussions with Ofcom on removing its use of historic data from European Parliamentary elections in its most recent publication entitled Evidence of past electoral support and evidence of current support ahead of the various elections taking place on 1 May 2025, published on 6 March 2025.

We do not intend to discuss this with Ofcom, as it is operationally independent from the government and responsible for its own publications.
