As I said, I have been in touch with the director of the NCSC in recent days to get an update on the particular situation we are in at the moment.

I agree with Deputy Stanton that we have to do more and we are looking and working in co-operation with network operators to improve our security and to make sure they maximise security on their networks.

The NCSC publishes a lot of its material. It is well-regarded internationally because it is seen to be trustworthy and prompt in sharing information. A lot of its online communications are accessible, well-regarded and well-used. It has to be careful that it does not publish everything and it has to have levels of what information it can give out and it has protocols for same. We have to follow those protocols as well in what we can say.
