Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what progress is being made on the development of the detailed Cyber Science and Technology strategy referred to in paragraph 7.3.5 of the Government's 2016 National Cyber Security Strategy.

Since publication of the 2016 National Cyber Security Strategy, we have been working with experts in Departments, Agencies, academia and industry to develop an interim Cyber Security Science and Technology strategy, which we plan to publish this autumn. The interim strategy sets out our broad approach and establishes the responsibilities, structure and processes needed to develop a full strategy for publication in April 2018.
