- Question
-
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many organisations will be designated as critical third parties by the end of 2027.
- Answer
-
On 10 July 2026, the Government announced it had designated four major global cloud services and technology providers as Critical Third Parties (CTPs). These designations came into force on 13 July 2026.
As part of a rolling regime, further providers may be designated over time where this is necessary to protect UK resilience. To maintain the integrity of the regime, it is not appropriate to comment on how many designations may be made in future.
