Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to encourage more cyber experts to work in government departments.
This question was answered on 7th February 2025
The Government has been delivering successful cyber programmes for many years.
We bring new talent into His Majesty’s government with our apprenticeship and graduate schemes and a new Government Cyber Skills Academy.
We attract cyber experts into Government with our new Cyber Resourcing Hub which is working to engage with talent pools and support recruiting line managers. The Civil Service Pay Remit Guidance also gives flexibility for departments to offer higher pay for hard-to-recruit-to roles.
