The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what criteria the Cabinet Office uses to prioritise national risks within the Government Resilience Framework.

Answered by Ms Abena Oppong-Asare

The UK Government Resilience Action Plan takes an ‘all hazards’ approach, focusing on improving the general resilience of the nation to all risks, and investing in common systems and tools to respond. The wide range of specific risks the government plans for are continually assessed in the National Security Risk Assessment, which now operates on a dynamic model and incorporates challenge through a refreshed Expert Advisory Programme.
