Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, whether the application Hacker House made to her Department for funding from the Cyber Security Immediate Impact Fund included information on previous funding received by (a) Directors in London and (b) Partners of that company.

I have instructed my officials to commission a review that will look into Hacker House’s application for grant funding awarded under the Cyber Skills Immediate Impact Fund (CSIIF). Subject to any legal restrictions (such as data protection laws and duties to protect commercial or confidential information), we will make available the relevant information regarding the decision making process by 31 October 2019 at the latest.
