Lords ChamberThe national risk assessment is undertaken regularly and led by the Cabinet Office. In this instance, DSIT is the department responsible for the risk to the cables overall, but it is in collaboration with the MoD, the Cabinet Office and others, particularly in relation to assessing risks other than those that I have outlined.
My Lords, are these cables used only for civilian purposes or also for military purposes?
The cables provide the connections that we need for all purposes across telecommunications.
