answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/03/2019 answer text <p>To date, we have not seen evidence of successful interference in UK democratic processes, but we are not complacent. We know that certain states routinely use disinformation and other means as a foreign policy tool, and have seen evidence of this happening elsewhere. The Government has taken steps to ensure that there is a coordinated structure across all relevant UK authorities to defend against interference in British politics whether by Russia, or any other state.</p><p> </p><p>We treat the integrity and security of our democratic processes extremely seriously. The EU referendum provisions were carefully scrutinised and ratified by Parliament. In line with the precedent for referendums, there was a six week period in which the formal result and administration of the EU Referendum could be challenged by judicial review.</p><p> </p><p>The Electoral Commission is an independent organisation and its investigations are a matter for it alone. We must now allow the National Crime Agency space to proceed with a thorough investigation of this matter and I will not be commenting further on a live investigation.</p><p> </p><p>17.4 million people voted to leave the EU and that mandate should be respected.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 14/03/2019 14:58:54 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington
