Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether he plans to publish a report on the work of the Defending Democracy Taskforce.

The Defending Democracy Taskforce is an enduring government function which seeks to protect the democratic integrity of the UK by reducing the threat of foreign interference.

There are no current plans to publish a report on the work of the Taskforce. The communication and engagement work of the Taskforce is currently focussed on direct engagement with relevant bodies, including to raise awareness of threats and promote mitigations. Recently, that has included engagement with members of both Houses of Parliament as well as representatives of the devolved administrations.
