Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Chris Bloore and Dan Jarvis

Thursday 23rd April 2026 Commons Chamber

[Chris Bloore (Redditch) (Lab)]

Happy St George’s day, Mr Speaker.

When Jaguar Land Rover was the victim of a cyber-attack, it had a devastating impact on the supply chain in Redditch. Will the proposed cyber-resilience index, which is part of the Government’s welcome focus on improving cyber-security and national security, be subject to parliamentary scrutiny?

[Dan Jarvis]

We recognise the serious disruption that incidents such as the attack on JLR can cause for supply chains and local economies. We continually assess the resilience of our critical national infrastructure. The proposed cyber-resilience index will support improved accountability, and we are considering appropriate mechanisms to ensure parliamentary scrutiny as it is developed.
