The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what recent progress his Department has made on strengthening national resilience.

Answered by Ms Abena Oppong-Asare

As my Rt. Hon friend the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster set out in his statement in the House last week, the Government continues to make improvements to strengthen our national resilience.

In April the UK Resilience Academy will be launched and will train over 4000 people a year and later this year we will undertake a full national pandemic response exercise.

The review of national resilience continues. Updates will be given in due course.
