Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of cyber resilience standards among operators of critical national infrastructure.

The Government is working tirelessly to improve the cyber resilience of our most critical services and systems, including the UK’s Critical National Infrastructure. The Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill will update the existing Network and Information Systems Regulations 2018 to tackle the evolving cyber threats we face. It will protect more essential and digital services from cyber attacks, enable cyber regulators to be more effective, and provide the Government with the flexibility to respond to new threats in the cyber landscape. The Bill has completed its passage through the House of Commons and will move to Second Reading in the House of Lords when parliamentary time allows.
