This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Appoint a new ISC so the 'Russia Report' may be published without further delay.
The Prime Minister stated in December that he had cleared the 'Russia Report' for publication and that it was in the hands of the Intelligence & Security Committee. But the ISC was dissolved before the election and the person responsible for appointing a new one is the PM! Let's get this done now!

Doubts over Russian involvement in both the EU referendum and subsequent election campaigns are casting a shadow over the legitimacy of both Boris Johnson's government and Brexit itself. The general public has a right to know whether either of these have a watertight mandate from the electorate or if we are indeed being manipulated into acting against our interest by a hostile nation. The ISC was reappointed within 5 months of the 2017 election; in these troubled times this act is long overdue.
