Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps he has taken to ensure continuity of government operations during extreme events such as flooding and cyberattacks.

As part of prudent resilience planning the COBR Directorate has a number of operational arrangements in place for the continuity of crisis management against a range of national security incidents.
