Foreign Influence Registration Scheme
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will set the processes by which the Foreign Influence Registration Scheme collects data from individuals.
Answered by Dan Jarvis
Those registering under FIRS do so through a dedicated IT platform. Comprehensive guidance on the scheme has been published on gov.uk. This includes guidance on what data needs to be registered and what data will appear on the public register.
In addition, the Home Office has published a Privacy Information Notice setting out how data provided under the scheme is handled (https://foreign-influence-registration-scheme.service.gov.uk/Privacy).
This includes how personal information inputted into registrations will be collected and stored securely in accordance with Home Office guidance and data policies.
