The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of requiring all elected representatives and candidates to declare any meetings with foreign government representatives and agents.

Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds

There are no plans to introduce such a requirement. As always, security requirements are kept under continuous review.
