The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to page 123 of the Strategic Defence Review: Making Britain Safer: secure at home, strong abroad, published in June 2025, how many separate policy teams will be established as part of CyberEM Command.

Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones

The 2* Defence Cyber and Electromagnetic Force (DCEMF) will have one policy team to ensure that DCEMF operations and force development activities are consistent with Defence and government policy. The policy team in the DCEMF will work closely with the Military Strategic Headquarters and other Cyber and Specialist Operations Command policy teams.
