Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if his Department will make an assessment of the (a) prevalence of the use of and (b) the level of UK reliance on the supply of imported cellular internet of things modules in national security infrastructure.

I refer the Hon Member for Barnsley Central to the Minister for the Cabinet Office’s answer of 26 July 2023 (UIN 194829), noting that the Procurement Bill has now become the Procurement Act following Royal Assent on 26 October 2023.
