National Security: Infrastructure
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether he plans to update national resilience standards for (a) transport, (b) water, (c) energy and (d) digital infrastructure.
Answered by Dan Jarvis
Responsibility for updating standards for individual infrastructure sectors sits with the Lead Government Departments for those sectors.
In the 2025 Resilience Action Plan, the Cabinet Office committed to mapping the standards that apply to Critical National Infrastructure sectors, which includes transport, water, energy and some aspects of digital infrastructure. This work is ongoing. Cabinet Office will work with relevant departments as they identify and address any gaps in resilience standards that emerge from that mapping.
