Oppression

Asked by Anneliese DoddsLabour (Co-op)Home OfficeTabled Answered 21 April 2026UIN 128071

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she has held discussions with victims of transnational repression and with civil society on the implementation of the Department's TNR Guidance.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

Engagement with affected individuals, civil society organisations, community representatives and academics informed the Defending Democracy Taskforce’s review of transnational repression and its recommendations. Insights from this engagement helped shape the Government’s response, including the publication of practical guidance on GOV.UK for individuals who believe they may be at risk.

The Government continues to engage with civil society and affected individuals at both official and Ministerial levels to refine its understanding of how transnational repression presents in the UK and to ensure that its response, including guidance, remains proportionate, evidence led and responsive to the evolving threat.
