Defending Democracy Taskforce
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent progress the Defending Democracy Taskforce has made.
Answered by Dan Jarvis
Mr Speaker, it is vital that elected representatives and their staff can discharge their duties without threat of intimidation or assault.
We have seen wholly unacceptable behaviour, especially around the general election.
The Defending Democracy Taskforce is looking urgently at these issues and I will update the House further in due course.
