Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what assurances he has received that the UK will continue to benefit from involvement with the EU computer emergency response team in the event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal.

The Political Declaration between the United Kingdom and the European Union includes a commitment that the UK and Computer Emergency Response Team – European Union (CERT-EU) will continue to cooperate closely. The UK has been a partner for CERT-EU’s in tactical cooperation around incidents which have affected EU institutions, and in the event we leave the EU without a deal we expect to continue to share reporting and expertise.
