Gregory Barker

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations he has received regarding the cyber-terrorism threat to the energy industry; and what assessment has been made of NISCC cyber-terrorism counter measures since January. [69639]

Mr. Blunkett

[holding answer 17 July 2002]: No representations from the energy industry have been received to the date concerning the threat from cyberterrorism, but the National Infra Structure Security Co-ordination Centre (NISCC) keeps its assessment of the threat of electronic attack to the United Kingdom's critical national infrastructure, which includes the energy industry, under constant review.
