Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have advised UK political parties of the potential threat of cyber-attacks of the kind allegedly made recently by foreign security services in countries such as the USA, Sweden and Germany.

All UK organisations are responsible for protecting their information and preventing hostile actors from acquiring that data. Political parties can, and should, take steps to ensure their systems are suitably protected. The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) offers UK organisations access to the best cyber security advice and support. This advice, if correctly implemented, goes a long way to reducing the prospect of compromise or data loss.
