The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to help counter hostile state threats.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

We are ensuring the UK is a harder target for states that seek to harm our people and interests

We have established a cross-Whitehall Joint Unit for state threats, launched the Foreign Influence Registration Scheme on 1 July, placing Iran and Russia on the enhanced tier, and are taking forward recommendations from the comprehensive review of transnational repression.
