Government Departments: Security

Asked by Mike WoodConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 21 May 2026UIN 2090

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will publish the current HMG Security Policy Framework.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

The current Security Policy Framework (SPF) was published in 2014. There are no plans to update it as this has been superseded by the publication of the functional standards in 2020, which include a specific functional standard for security (GovS 007). This can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/government-functional-standard-govs-007-security
