Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment his Department has made about the potential risk of (a) domestic and (b) international espionage activity impacting transport infrastructure.

The Department for Transport takes national security extremely seriously. We work with partners across government, internationally, and with industry to understand, mitigate and respond to the full range of threats to the transport sector, including espionage. We will not hesitate to take action if necessary, with policy options continuously kept under review.
