To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what recent assessment the Government has made of the level of threat posed by cyber-attacks to (a) nuclear, (b) other power stations and (c) electricity grids.
Cyber security is one of the Government's top national security priorities and BEIS is continuing to work with other government departments and the National Cyber Security Centre, as well as with industry partners, to ensure that the threats to the energy sector are understood and that appropriate mitigations are established.
For security purposes, we do not disclose details of potential threats to specific facilities.
