Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Elton (Conservative). It was answered on Monday, 16 June 2008.
National Security: Electronic Attacks
- Question
- My Lords, the Minister has reeled off a whole galaxy of organisations, bodies and committees which are interested in this. Who has ministerial responsibility for this and what central point in Government is co-ordinating all this effort so that it makes sense and has effect?
- Answer
-
My Lords, I am sorry I banged on a little long, but I get quite excited about this subject. The Central Sponsor for Information Assurance lies within the Cabinet Office. But since my appointment last June, this has been an area that I am particularly interested in. Many nations are very vulnerable and we need to look at it very closely.
