answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/01/2020 answer text <p>​In line with his responsibilities in the Justice and Security Act 2013, the Prime Minister carefully considered and approved the report, and is content that its publication would not prejudice the functions of those bodies that safeguard our national security.</p><p>We acknowledge the public's interest in the publication of the report; however the report itself is the property of the independent Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC). As such it is not for the Government to publish it; it is for the ISC to lay it before Parliament. Once a new Committee has been established, it will be up to them to choose when they wish to publish it. The process to establish a new Committee has already begun.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 22/01/2020 12:46:19 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2018 answer text <p>​We know that Russia has a history of interfering in other countries, whether the botched coup in Montenegro, repeated cyber-attacks on other states or seeking to influence others' democratic processes. We also know the Kremlin persistently uses disinformation to destabilise states. Managing this is a long-term priority for the UK, and we will continue to work with international partners, primarily through the EU, G7 and NATO, to constrain the effects of Russian behaviour.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 19/07/2018 15:36:35 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
