Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent progress he has made on cyber capabilities in the AUKUS partnership.

AUKUS partners are making good progress on advanced cyber, engaging with critical suppliers and industry partners to uplift the security of our supply chains. At the recent AUKUS Defence Ministerial Meeting in December 2023, partners agreed to work closely to further strengthen our cyber capabilities in order to protect critical communication and operations systems.
