<p>All passholders are subject to vetting, and Parliament follows the Government vetting
framework and is regulated by the Government’s statement of vetting policy. Parliament’s
vetting processes draw on data provided by the relevant national authorities. More
information can be found in Parliament’s <a href="https://www.parliament.uk/globalassets/mps-lords--offices/offices/pass-office/psd-national-security-vetting-booklet.pdf"
target="_blank">National Security Vetting booklet</a>. I am constrained in what further
I can share widely on Parliament’s security measures.</p><p>Parliament works with
the relevant national authorities to keep all potential threats to Parliament, parliamentarians
and parliamentary democracy under constant review and ensure our mitigations are appropriate.
This includes the threat posed by foreign state interference. Parliament is also represented
at the Defending Democracy taskforce which is chaired by the Security Minister.</p><p>
