Question to the Scotland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what steps he is taking to help tackle social media intervention by foreign states seeking to influence the debate on Scotland's constitutional status.

Protecting our democracy is one of the Government’s highest priorities. The Defending Democracy Taskforce was set up to tackle threats including, but not limited to, election security. It is, and always will be, an absolute priority to protect the UK against foreign interference. The National Security Act 2023 provides the security services and law enforcement agencies with the tools they need to deter, detect, and disrupt modern-day state threats.
