The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many times the Defending Democracy Taskforce met in Northern Ireland between January 2025 and June 2025.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

Meetings of the Taskforce are attended by Ministers and senior officials from multiple government departments, and have to date, all taken place in secure government premises within the Whitehall estate. These meetings, that I chair in my role as Security Minister, are complemented by official led meetings with Devolved Governments including Northern Ireland.
