Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the vulnerability of the financial system to terrorist actions; and if he will make a statement.

This government considers the resilience of the financial sector to a range of security threats and natural hazards. While responsibility for the resilience of the financial sector is primarily for firms themselves, the government continues to support measures to strengthen the resilience of the sector, and in particular its critical systems, working closely with the Bank of England (BoE) the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), wider government and the sector.
