National Security Adviser
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how long it took for the National Security Advisor to be vetted after his appointment.
Answered by Dan Jarvis
Individuals appointed as National Security Adviser go through an extensive process which includes National Security Vetting (NSV). National Security Vetting for the current National Security Adviser was conducted to the usual standard set for Developed Vetting.
It is long-standing practice that the government does not comment on individual vetting cases.
