Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps: Cybercrime

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what recent assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the Joint Cybersecurity Advisory Alert AA22-257A, published on 14 September 2022 which states that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps have attempted cyber attacks on UK critical national infrastructure in 2022.

We do not comment on individual cyber incidents. The government’s approach to tackling cyber threats is set out in the National Cyber Strategy (2022), including detecting, disrupting and deterring state, criminal and other malicious cyber actors and activities against the UK. The strategy also sets out our ambition for improvements in the cyber resilience of critical national infrastructure, which includes being more prepared to respond to and recover from incidents, better incident planning and regular exercising.

Local Broadcasting: Radio
Monday 25th April 2022

Asked by: Ben Everitt (Conservative - Milton Keynes North)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of using community radio stations as a means of promoting national Government campaigns.

Answered by Nigel Adams

The Government is strongly supportive of the community radio sector and recognises the great value that it offers to communities across the UK. Community radio plays an important role in our cross channel strategy, with the merits of its use being assessed in relation to this.

Government public information campaigns utilise a wide range of channels to maximise reach and engagement and to ensure our messaging reaches as many people as possible. The government has recently worked with over 35 community radio stations on a weekly basis and this includes the use of paid-for advertising on community radio.
