Defence: Manufacturing Industries
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of providing Lancashire Police an uplift in support to increase capability of defending civilian defence manufacturers.
Answered by Dan Jarvis
Defence Industry sites are protected under the National Security Act 2023 which provides police additional powers in responding to incidents at these sites.
We also maintain proactive communications with our Defence industry partners, ensuring that they are provided with up-to-date advice and guidance on the protection of their facilities and increasing vigilance of their staff to mitigate potential threats.
