Question to the Ministry of Defence:
What steps her Department is taking to protect the UK from hybrid threats by hostile states and actors.
Answered by Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
Hybrid threats present themselves in many domains. Therefore, we utilise a ‘whole of government’ approach to protecting the UK against such activity. The MOD works collaboratively with other government departments, in line with Fusion Doctrine, to support this approach.
It is important that the UK continues to work with and support our international partners in NATO and the EU, contributing to and drawing upon the different tools of these organisations to protect against hybrid threats.
