UK Security Vetting (UKSV) was established in January 2017 and since April 2020 has been part of the Cabinet Office’s Government Security Group. Prior to its move to the Cabinet Office it was part of the Ministry of Defence and UKSV is still managing legacy elements of the transition.
Following publication by the National Audit Office of its investigation into performance of UKSV, the Committee will question senior officials at the Cabinet Office and UK Security Vetting Service on progress towards completing the move to the Cabinet Office and:
- UKSV’s performance levels;
- the causes of poor performance and what progress UKSV is making in addressing them; and
- how UKSV is seeking to modernise and reform security vetting.
If you have evidence on these issues please submit it here by 6pm on Sunday 29 January 2022.
Please have a look at the requirements for written evidence submissions and note the Committee cannot accept material as evidence that has been published elsewhere.
