Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, when he plans to publish the next edition of the National Risk Register for Civil Emergencies.

The National Risk Register of Civil Emergencies (NRR) is the public-facing version of the National Risk Assessment (NRA) and provides information about civil emergencies that might affect the UK over the next five years. It is published every two years in line with the NRA review cycle and was last released in 2015.

Following the completion of the latest NRA earlier this year and in light of recent events, the NRR has been comprehensively reviewed and updated to ensure that the Government’s assessment of risks reflects current knowledge and understanding. The document will be published in due course.
