Speaking in the House of Lords on 6 January 2025

Debate

Defending Democracy Taskforce

Contribution

As a resident of Wales, I endorse the comments made about Baroness Randerson and her service to Wales and the Wales Office in particular. The counter-extremism review concluded over the summer and Ministers are now considering the recommendations. The Defending Democracy Taskforce will drive a whole-of-government approach to a full range of threats to our democracy, which includes ensuring that elected representatives can carry out their roles safely. Since July, we have been learning the lessons of the general election also, with a particular view towards the upcoming local elections in May. The Government will update the House on that work in due course.
