Chair quote
Chair of the Joint Committee on the National Security Strategy, Matt Western MP, said:
“Yesterday's statements send a strong signal that the Government recognises the need to increase our readiness in a deteriorating security environment.
“The UK faces a range of threats to our domestic security, so the proposals to improve our national resilience, protect our critical infrastructure and boost our offensive cyber capabilities deserve detailed scrutiny.
“We will consider these commitments carefully, alongside the upcoming National Security Strategy, to evaluate how well they address the challenges we face in the years ahead.”
