(asked on 20th October 2026) - View Source
Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government when the National Security Adviser was vetted; and at what level.
This question was answered on 3rd November 2026
I refer the Noble Lord to the answer I gave on 5 March 2026 to Question 115039, copied below:
Individuals appointed as National Security Adviser go through an extensive process which includes National Security Vetting (NSV). National Security Vetting for the current National Security Adviser was conducted to the usual standard set for Developed Vetting.
It is long-standing practice that the government does not comment on individual vetting cases.
