Thursday 27th March 2014

Asked by: Bridget Phillipson (Labour - Houghton and Sunderland South)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 12 March 2014, Official Report, column 268W, on Computer Misuse Act 1990, and with reference to action 7 under objective 1 on page 36 of the UK Cyber Security Strategy, when the Government plans to publish its review of the Computer Misuse Act 1990.

Answered by Karen Bradley

The Home Office, with its partners, has kept the Computer Misuse Act 1990 (CMA) under constant review to ensure the UK has a robust legal framework that enables law enforcement agencies to tackle cybercrime. We set out in the Serious and Organised Crime Strategy (October 2013) that we will bring forward proposals to amend the CMA, including to update existing offences to cover importing tools for cyber crime. We will legislate as soon as the Parliamentary timetable allows.
