I'm conscious of the time and that we're soon going to hit a hard marker. Obviously, we'll be returning to this issue. Can I ask that the minister, in the intervening time away from the chamber, go and seek answers to these questions so that he can come back to the chamber and answer them adequately when we return to the committee stage later today. The government should be able to provide some information about the advice it has received, or sought, on the risk of foreign interference, given that the government has publicly speculated about it.

I'd also like to know whether you or any government minister has met with any of the tech platforms about the risk of foreign interference in the upcoming referendum.
