answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2022 answer text <p>As I outlined in my answer of 18 October 2021 to PQ 54006, Chequers is not a government building; it is run and managed by an independent trust. As has been the practice under successive Premiers, the incumbent Prime Minister uses Chequers consistent with the wishes of the donor, the late Sir Arthur Lee, who gave it to the nation for the use of the serving Prime Minister, for both official and private use. This is set out in the Chequers Estates Act 1917.</p><p>Details of official hospitality at Chequers are published on a quarterly basis and are available via the <a href="http://gov.uk/" target="_blank">gov.uk</a> website. I can confirm the Prime Minister’s gathering of 16 July was not an official event.</p><p>Personal or party political hospitality is not paid for by the public purse.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 05/09/2022 11:00:27 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis

Ministers are personally responsible for deciding how to act and conduct themselves in the light of the Ministerial Code, and for justifying their actions and conduct to Parliament and the public.

In heightened periods of international tension, all organisations should be vigilant to the risk of cyber compromise and follow the NCSC’s guidance during such periods of heightened cyber risk.</p><p> </p><p>A core component of our National Cyber Strategy is to strengthen the cyber security of government and public services. The Government Cyber Security Strategy, launched in January 2022, will make sure that core government functions are resilient to cyber attacks. This work will be supported by an enhanced assurance regime to raise standards and a new Government Cyber Coordination Centre. The delivery of both the National and Government strategies is supported by £2.6 billion of investment over three years.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 17/03/2022 17:25:15 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis
