Solar Events
Asked by: Lord Arbuthnot of Edrom (Conservative - Life peer) Tuesday 16th December 2025 Question to the Cabinet Office: To ask His Majesty's Government in which year space weather was recognised as a risk sufficiently severe to feature in the National Risk Register. Answered by Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip) The severe space weather risk was first added to the National Risk Register in the 2012 edition in light of lessons from the 2010 Iceland volcanic eruptions. All risks in the National Risk Register, including those related to severe space weather, are kept under review to ensure that they are the most appropriate scenarios to inform emergency preparedness and resilience activity.
