answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2019 answer text <p>We know that certain states routinely use hybrid warfare, disinformation, ‘bots’ and hacking as foreign policy tools. It’s not surprising that they should try to influence the UK to further their own agendas. There is no evidence of successful interference, but the UK is not complacent to this threat. We are actively monitoring to identify and understand disinformation campaigns, and are taking action to ensure our democracy remains secure.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 07/03/2019 12:32:00 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2019 answer text <p>Whilst we have no seen evidence of successful interference, we are not complacent: this Government takes the security and integrity of our electoral processes extremely seriously. The Government is committed to working together with a full range of partners: academia, businesses, charities, regulators and civil society to respect, protect, and promote our democracy.</p><p> </p><p>Protecting the UK’s electoral mechanics from foreign cyber interference is one of the National Cyber Security Centre’s key priorities. The NCSC offers political parties access to the best cyber security guidance and support, and will provide cyber security guidance to the range of bodies – notably local authorities – involved in an election.</p><p> </p><p>It is also the responsibility of organisations and individuals to do what they can to reduce the vulnerability of data, which is the most effective method to deny states and others the opportunity to do harm or interfere. This is why we have spent £1.9 billion on cyber security, including establishing the NCSC since 2016.</p><p> </p><p>There is also ongoing work with local authorities and electoral administrators to ensure our elections remain secure. Within these broad programmes of work to secure our democratic processes, costs specifically to secure elections from outside interference are not recorded separately.</p> answering member constituency Norwich North answering member printed Chloe Smith question first answered 12/03/2019 17:15:53 answering member 1609 label Biography information for Chloe Smith
