Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Matt Hancock and Craig Tracey

Wednesday 27th April 2016 Commons Chamber

[Matthew Hancock]

I understand the hon. Gentleman’s concern and the concern of his constituents. He will know that the timing of the publication is a matter for the independent inquiry, which has set out a timetable. Checking for national security issues is very important, and will take place appropriately. Thankfully, we will get to the conclusion of this process soon.

[Craig Tracey (North Warwickshire) (Con)]

T2. The Government need to keep up with the digital revolution, and I applaud the Minister’s efforts to ensure that that is being done. Does he agree that as more interaction between citizens and Government takes place online, cyber-security must keep pace with that increase?
