Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will publish the Risk Vulnerability Tool.

The Risk Vulnerability Tool (RVT) is currently accessible to Ministers and officials across the UK and devolved governments. Its function is to assist officials in identifying vulnerable and at-risk communities to better mitigate impacts during times of crisis.

The current developmental version of the tool will not be made public. However, in line with standard practice for government statistics, information detailing the RVT methodology will be published within a Quality and Methodology Information report once the methodology has been finalised.
