Breaching the digital imprint rules will be an offence and the Electoral Commission and police will have shared responsibility for the enforcement of the regime.</p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Kemi Badenoch question first answered 24/11/2021 17:36:06 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch
