Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many (a) armed forces personnel and (b) non-armed forces personnel are members of the National Cyber Force.

The National Cyber Force is made up of a roughly equal share of personnel from defence and intelligence, and brings together their expertise, resources and authorities under a single command structure. We do not comment on the exact figures of personnel working in the National Cyber Force for national security reasons.

Defence is creating new dedicated career pathways for Defence cyberspace specialists to build a world-class workforce so we have the right skills in the right teams at the right time.
