Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what is the role of the National Cyber Security Centre.

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) was created in 2016 as part of the Government's five-year National Cyber Security Strategy. The NCSC was set up to help protect our critical services from cyber attacks, manage major incidents, develop cyber skills and technology, and provide advice to citizens and organisations. Its vision is to help make the UK the safest place to live and do business online. The NCSC provides a single point of contact for private and public sector organisations for all matters relating to cyber security.
