Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Dan Jarvis and Claire Young

Thursday 23rd April 2026 Commons Chamber

[Claire Young (Thornbury and Yate) (LD)]

Happy St George’s day, Mr Speaker. A business I met recently raised concerns about grid resilience to Chinese sabotage. Given the precedent set on Huawei and 5G, what steps is the Cabinet Office taking to exclude high-risk Chinese components from our critical energy infrastructure?

[Dan Jarvis]

If the hon. Member would like to write to me, I would be happy to look at the details of what she has raised. She will understand that I do not want to get into the detail of it now, but I give her an assurance that we look very carefully at all these matters and take decisions in our national security interests.
