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

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, how many and what proportion of organisations in receipt of funds through the Cyber Security Immediate Impact Fund were awarded the maximum sum available.

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.
