<p>As my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister and my right hon. Friend the Secretary
of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy have made clear, the UK is,
and will remain, one of the most open economies in the world, including to foreign
direct investment. We will also ensure that any investment serves the national interest.
This deal, which involves a crucial part of the UK’s critical infrastructure, was
no different. While national security considerations do not allow us to comment on
the specific assessments we undertake, we continue to work collaboratively to understand
and respond to all threats and hazards in the energy sector. This includes work across
Government and with our agencies to understand the risk profiles, regular engagement
with industry to develop mitigation strategies and ensuring that we have the knowledge
and robust procedures in place to respond to challenges as they arise.</p>
