Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what discussions she has had with Cabinet colleagues on countering foreign disinformation in the UK.

Countering foreign disinformation – which seeks to subvert and undermine the UK’s democracy, prosperity, and security – is vital.

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology holds overall responsibility for countering disinformation and is the convening department that coordinates cross-government capabilities.

The Home Office works closely with DSIT and others in the coordinated effort to protect the UK.

The National Security Bill - currently making its way through this House - will further strengthen our ability to counter hostile state threats.
