The UK government 'actively avoided' investigating Russian interference in the 2016 Brexit referendum

The UK government avoided investigating potential Russian interference in the 2016 Brexit referendum.The report, by the UK Parliament's Intelligence and Security Commitee, suggests that ministers "had not seen or sought evidence of successful interference in UK democratic processes."

ISC member and member of Parliament Stewart Hosie on Tuesday said the government had "actively avoided" investigating the matter, adding that there had been "no assessment of Russian interference in the EU referendum and that goes back to nobody wanting to touch this issue with a ten-foot pole." "This situation is in stark contrast to the US handling of allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, where an intelligence community assessment was produced within two months of the vote, with an unclassified summary being made public."

The 50-page report calls for a full, retrospective assessment into whether Russia interfered in the referendum.
