Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps he has taken to improve national resilience to global events.
The first duty of the Government is to keep the country safe and we are working to strengthen our national resilience, including by working with international partners.
In April the UK Resilience Academy will be launched and will train over 4000 people a year and later this year we will undertake a full national pandemic response exercise.
The review of national resilience continues. Updates will be given in due course.
