Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what assessment he has made of whether amendments to the Computer Misuse Act 1990 will be required to deliver the National Cyber Strategy.

The Home Office recently carried out a review of the Computer Misuse Act, which led to a public consultation on proposals for new powers to assist law enforcement agencies in tackling these threats. They are currently analysing the responses to these proposals.

The Cabinet Office will work with the Home Office to consider implications.
