National Security and Russia

Proceeding contribution from Liam Byrne (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 26 March 2018. It occurred during Debate on National Security and Russia.

The Prime Minister will know that, since General Gerasimov updated the playbook of Russian active measures, intervention in democracy abroad has been one of the mainstays of Russian activity around the world. Our national security strategy does not include an explicit objective to defend the integrity of our democracy, and our election law defences are hopelessly out of date. Will she now update that national security strategy and, crucially, update the election law, so that our regulators have the power to keep our democracy safe?
