To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what discussions he has had with key infrastructure providers on the steps they are taking to protect themselves from cyber-attack.

Government Departments and the National Cyber Security Centre have regular discussions with key infrastructure providers on their management of cyber risk.

Ensuring the UK’s Critical National Infrastructure is secure and resilient against cyber attack is a priority for the Government as set out in the National Cyber Security Strategy.
