To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what progress he has made on establishing a new security accord with the EU to ensure continued access to the Galileo Satellite system’s encrypted services after the UK leaves the EU.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what progress he has made on establishing a new security accord with the EU to ensure continued access to the Galileo Satellite system’s encrypted services after the UK leaves the EU.
This Government intends to secure the best possible outcome for the UK as we exit the European Union. The UK has played a major part in developing the main EU space programmes including Galileo. The Government has made clear that the EU and the UK should consider all options, including new arrangements, to ensure our future cooperation on space maintains our security and supports mutual prosperity; however it is too early to speculate on the UK’s future relationship with specific EU programmes and the Government will not be providing a commentary on each aspect of the negotiations.

The Government is in favour of strong encryption: it is critical to protect UK citizens from harm online, and billions of people use it every day for a range of services including banking, commerce and communications.
However, like many powerful technologies, encrypted services are abused by a small minority of people. There is a particular problem with end-to-end encryption where certain providers have deliberately designed their systems so that even they cannot see the content of the message.
The Secretary of State meets with a range of stakeholders to discuss various issues as part of the process of policy development and delivery. As was the case with previous administrations, it is not the Government's practice to provide details of all such meetings. However, we are committed to working with service providers to fulfil our collective responsibility to protect us from terrorists and those who commit serious crimes, while allowing providers to protect privacy. We are quite clear that it is essential for law enforcement to access content when there is a clear need and when properly warranted. The Government will continue to press for that ability.
A mature dialogue between government and industry on this issue is crucial, and we expect them to live up to their responsibilities: working with law enforcement where there is a warrant authorised by a Secretary of State and approved by a senior judge under the Investigatory Powers Act 2016.

The Government is committed to working with telecommunications operators to ensure that the security and intelligence agencies and law enforcement are able to access the data they need to protect the public.
In due course the Government will commence the provisions of the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 concerning technical capability notices and will bring forward regulations, on which we have already held a targeted consultation with relevant bodies. These regulations will set out the obligations which can be imposed on telecommunications and postal operators by such a notice.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she intends to activate the Section 253 Maintenance of Technical Capability power contained in the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 in connection with messaging services featuring end-to-end encryption, such as Whatsapp or Telegram.

In due course the Government will commence the Technical Capability Notice provisions and will bring forward regulations, on which we have already held a targeted consultation with relevant bodies. These regulations will set out the obligations which can be imposed on telecommunications and postal operators. As with all secondary legislation subject to the affirmative resolution procedure, these regulations will be subject to debate and a vote in both Houses of Parliament before they come into effect.
It has been a long standing position of successive governments not to comment on which companies are or are not subject to obligations to provide assistance in relation to investigatory powers.

The Government supports the use of encryption. Encryption plays an important role in promoting cyber security, the prevention of cyber-crime, and protecting information online. Strong encryption - as practiced by many of the biggest names online - is central to the working of the internet.
But we must be clear that there is a balance to be struck. As those charged with keeping us all safe, the police and the security and intelligence agencies must have the tools they need to do their jobs. One of those tools is the ability to read, where it is both necessary and proportionate, the encrypted messages of those who plan and commit terrorist attacks and serious crimes.
We have well-established, constructive working relationships with a wide-range of groups with an interest in this area – including the major Communications Service Providers and business representatives – and we will continue to engage with them, along with other partners, to together find a solution that both permits law enforcement and the security and intelligence agencies to get the information they need, whilst also protecting privacy.

The Government is keen to ensure that the correct balance is struck between protecting information online and the need for our police and intelligence agencies to read, subject to appropriate authorisation, encrypted messages of those who plan and commit terrorist attacks and serious crimes when it is both necessary and proportionate to do so. We continue to work with all those with an interest in this issue, from law enforcement and the security and intelligence agencies to communications service providers.
It is important to remember that we already have well-established, constructive working relationships with major technology companies. And we will continue to engage with them, along with other partners, to find a solution that both permits law enforcement and the security and intelligence agencies to get the information they need, whilst also protecting privacy.
Last week’s attack has highlighted the need for a proper public debate on this issue. The Government will be working with internet companies to ensure they fulfil their moral and social responsibility to help our police and security services to keep us all safe.

This Government is clear that it is essential our law enforcement and security and intelligence services have the powers they need to keep people safe. We are also committed to taking robust action to tackle radicalisation online, counter the poisonous ideology promoted by extremists, and remove harmful terrorist related material from the internet.
We have developed strong relationships with social media and internet companies in countering terrorism and extremism online. We are working closely with these companies to ensure that harmful content is swiftly removed from their platforms, and to explore options to provide appropriate access to encrypted terrorist content to law enforcement agencies.
