Joint Committee on the National Security Strategy: National Security Adviser
(asked on 10th April 2026) - View Source
Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many times the National Security Advisor has been requested to appear in front of the Joint Committee on the National Security Strategy since his appointment.
This question was answered on 15th April 2026
The National Security Adviser appeared in front of the Joint Committee on the National Security Strategy in a private session in November 2025 and has offered to do so again. As the Government has said, the longstanding practice is that Special Advisers currently in post do not give public evidence to Select Committees and this is done instead by Ministers or Officials.
