Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the findings of the Chronic Risks Analysis on medium-term departmental spending priorities.

The Chronic Risks Analysis is a practical tool to help businesses, academia, Government and civil society to plan for the future. The risks and long-term challenges identified in the Chronic Risks Analysis and National Risk Register are used to inform cross-Government resilience planning and spending priorities.

Resource allocation and departmental spending priorities over the medium term are formally determined through the Spending Review process, ensuring that we effectively spend money to protect the UK from the range of potential threats we face.
