Vote Leave: Election Offences
- Question
-
If he will make an assessment of the implications for his policies of the Electoral Commission’s decision that a new investigation into the Vote Leave campaign would not be in the public interest.
- Answer
-
The Electoral Commission is an independent regulator, accountable to Parliament, not the Government. The Government is, rightly, not involved in decisions over what the Electoral Commission investigates. We remain committed to upholding the integrity of our democratic processes.
