Civil Nuclear Constabulary

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what additional critical national infrastructure he plans for the Civil Nuclear Constabulary to protect in the Energy Bill.

Answer

Armed policing is used to protect only the most critical infrastructure. I am unable to comment on specific security measures at specific sites. The security measures at critical energy sites are implemented as a result of expert advice on the most effective measures that are proportionate to the threat and the type of infrastructure to be protected.
