Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential risks posed to UK national security by investments in critical national infrastructure by foreign (a) state-owned enterprises and (b) sovereign wealth funds; and if she will make a statement.
Foreign investment, including into our critical national infrastructure, is vital for our prosperity and this Government welcomes it. We must, though, consider carefully any risks that such investments may present, including to our national security. Prosperity and security are mutually reinforcing. The National Security Council undertakes this important task.
