Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what processes on the enforcement of cyber security guidelines were undertaken when he acquired his current smartphone.

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.
