Foreign Investment in UK: National Security

Asked by Mike WoodConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 22 April 2025UIN 45013

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether his Department has received recent representations from firms involved in transactions referred to his Department under the National Security and Investment Act since 5 July 2024.

Answered by Ms Abena Oppong-Asare

Parties with an interest in acquisitions being reviewed under the National Security and Investment (NSI) Act 2021 can submit representations via the Investment Security Unit in the Cabinet Office.

Given potential commercial and security sensitivities, the Government will not generally comment on review of specific acquisitions under the NSI Act, including what, if any, representations have been received.
