Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, if she will publish assessments of AI-agent incidents reported to the Government and the lessons learned from those incidents.

The government is committed to strengthening the cyber resilience of the UK and ensuring the appropriate response to AI-agent incidents. In the Budget on 28 October 2026 the Government announced it will invest £40 million in a new National Agentic Security Unit to develop new capabilities to detect, investigate and respond to agentic AI incidents. This will integrate monitoring and incident response functions with new operational capabilities. The new unit will increase resilience to agentic incidents, and this will include sharing lessons learned as appropriate. The government will share further information on the new unit in due course. However, we will not provide a running commentary on operational details.
