Debate

Irish Republican Alleged Incitement

Contribution

Elected representatives at all levels and across all parties must be able to perform their duties safely and without fear, and, through the Defending Democracy Taskforce, we are driving a whole-of-government effort to ensure that that is the case. The task force has recently agreed a programme of work to tackle the harassment and intimidation of elected Members. The task force is also supporting the Speaker’s Conference that is addressing these issues.
