Asked by: Lord Sarfraz (Conservative - Life peer) Thursday 30th January 2025 Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the (1) physical, and (2) cyber, threats to cable landing stations in the UK; and what measures they are taking to ensure the resilience of those stations against potential disruption.

These assessments inform DSIT and wider Government policy, legislation and engagement with the sector. |

Undersea cables National Security Strategy (Joint Committee) (Select) Submit Evidence (by 6 Mar 2025) Undersea cables form the backbone of the world’s internet. The UK has around 60 cables which connect us to the outside world, carrying 99% of our data. Concern has been growing about the risk of these cables being sabotaged by foreign states. The consequences would be extensive. This inquiry will examine the UK’s ability to defend our undersea infrastructure, alongside the UK’s national resilience in the event of a major, protracted disruption to our internet connection. |
