§ David DavisTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what measures she is taking to ensure that the UK national power supply is protected from sabotage. [151257]
§ Mr. TimmsThe Government provides protective security advice to key sectors and installations that are critical to the country's economic and social well-being. Our experience of domestic terrorist attacks over the past 30 years has shown that these arrangements have made an effective contribution to the counter-terrorism effort.
We provide tailored advice to a variety of industries, as well as to individual companies and public sector organisations, about how to make contingency arrangements and provide protective security. This advice comes from the Security Service and other sources.
This is an ongoing process and, for understandable reasons, it would be inappropriate to give details of what advice is provided to which organisations.
