Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what training he has undertaken on the (a) use of smartphones and (b) security risks smartphones pose; whether he has undertaken any such training since 3 July 2018; and whether he plans to attend any such training in the future.

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) regularly reviews its policies in the light of risks and technological developments, and ensures appropriate advice and guidance is in place for personnel at all levels. The MOD ensures all personnel receive standard security guidance on the use of official Portable Electronic Devices. We do not comment on specific aspects of our security posture.
