Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what progress has been made by the Cyber Crime Reduction Partnership over the last 12 months; and if she will make a statement.

The UK Cyber Security Strategy, which includes a commitment to develop a
partnership group with industry on cyber crime, was published in November
2011.
My Rt Hon Friend, the Minister for the Cabinet Office, gave the second annual
report on progress against objectives set out in the strategy on 12 December
2013 (Official Report, Columns 43 to 47 WS). The Minister for the Cabinet
Office also placed before Parliament a list of achievements over the preceding
year and a document that outlines its future plans. The documents can be found

The Partnership, one of a set of engagement points with industry on Cyber
Security, provides an opportunity to raise awareness of cyber crime amongst
members, helping them to become more resilient to the threat. To date, it has
provided a forum for partners to share views on key changes to the law
enforcement landscape on cyber and contribute to key actions in the Strategy.
This includes work to coordinate cyber security messages to the private sector.
