Recommendation 24

As recommended in our Fifth Report of Session 2021–22 on the Elections Bill, acknowledging the need for legislation to keep pace with rapid technological changes, the Government should commit to monitoring and conducting regular reviews of the digital imprints scheme, to ensure effectiveness in the monitoring and enforcement of the legislation and to prevent any unintended consequences or loopholes arising or emerging. We suggest particular consideration is given to whether the scope of material that requires an imprint should be widened and whether the rules are being effectively enforced.
