Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether proposals for a joint cyber force and its location are the subject of a consultation.

Her Majesty's Government recognises the rapid growth in the strategic importance of cyber capability to our defence and national security and as a key facet of national resilience, influence, and military capability.
