National Security
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what discussions she has had with Cabinet colleagues on improving homeland security.
Answered by Dan Jarvis
The Plan for Change emphasises that national security is the first duty of Government. The Secretary of State for the Home Department therefore engages in regular and ongoing discussions with Cabinet colleagues to ensure a coordinated and robust approach to improving homeland security. These discussions have been integral to shaping the UK's forthcoming National Security Strategy 2025 and the Strategic Defence Review (SDR) 2025.
The Home Secretary is also a member of the National Security Council, which regularly discusses homeland security and how we make the country safer, more secure and increasingly resilient against these interconnected threats.
