The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many transactions have been voluntary notified to his Department under the terms of the National Security and Investment Act since 5 July 2024.

Answered by Ms Abena Oppong-Asare

The Government publishes information on the operation of the National Security and Investment Act in the NSIA Annual Report. The most recent report, covering the 2023/24 reporting period, can be found on GOV.UK. The government received 120 voluntary notifications in this period.

Data on the number of voluntary notifications received between 1st April 2024 and 31st March 2025, broken down by month, will be published in the next Annual Report later this year.
