Context
The MP chaired a roundtable producing a report from Fortinet on the opportunities and risks of cyber-resilience in the transition to Great British Railways.
Does the Minister agree that more public procurement has a crucial role to play in ensuring that our railways are secure by design and that the Government must keep pace with the evolving cyber-threat to our critical national infrastructure?
I completely agree with my hon. Friend: public procurement is an important tool that ensures the UK's cyber-security. On Great British Railways, the Department for Transport works with partners across Government and the rail sector to improve the understanding of cyber-risk, and I would be pleased to pass a copy of the report he mentioned to the relevant Minister to ensure that it can be considered as part of that work.
